| Perl Weekly Issue #45 - June 4, 2012 - Read Perl-Module-Documentation secretly in your bed at night Hi, I am way too busy nowadays. Taking my car to a garage once a week is a bit too much, and looking for a new car isn't easy either. Sometimes it's fun but when I have plenty of other things going on then I'd rather just have a working car and that's it. I am also moving my sites to new servers which takes me way more time than it should. The Perl Weekly is still on the old one, szabgab.com is on a new one and perlide.org is in between. Probably a bug at my DNS provider. Anyway, this means I did not have enough time to write clever comments to all the posts. I think you will manage without them :). The next two issues of the Perl Weekly will be sent from Madison, WI, USA which means it will arrive to your inbox a bit later than usual. Let's see the posts then: Announcements Lese::Tipp - PerlyBook - CPAN Modul Dokumentation als E-Book

Buddy Burden describes how he ported old Perl code running on 5.8.9 to use 5.14.2. The easy parts and the pitfalls. Why I Use Perl: Reliability
Another upgrade story. This time an almost flawless upgrade from perl 5.14 to the recently released 5.16. chromatic uses hundreds of CPAN modules and all but 3 installed correctly on the new version of perl. Even those 3 were easily fixable issues. So why are companies afraid of upgrade? Because they don't know how to easily test if their system still works after the upgrade. Moving modules across perlbrew installations
If that was not enouh about upgrading then look here. David Austin complained that it is hard to ensure you install all the CPAN modules in the new perl after upgrading. Breno G. de Oliveira (garu) had a quick solution. - I'd say this problem only means you don't have proper configuration management, but I would not say it too loud because I don't have either :( When You Can't Misuse the Immutable
