Apologies for sending again, I did not include the correct perl grep the first time. Please forgive the temporary idiot and do not feed the trolls.

:-)

Greetings again :-)

On this particular production centos 4 mail server system if I

rpm -qa | grep perl

I get...

perl-Filter-1.30-6 newt-perl-1.08-7 perl-DateManip-5.42a-3 perl-libwww-perl-5.79-5 perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-26 perl-Time-HiRes-1.55-3 perl-CDB_File-0.94-1.2.el4.rf perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf perl-URI-1.30-4 mod_perl-1.99_16-4.centos4 perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30 perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-32 perl-XML-Parser-2.34-5 perl-XML-Dumper-0.71-2 perl-libxml-enno-1.02-31 perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4 perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf perl-Digest-SHA1-2.07-5 perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1 <------------------------- ***** perl-Statistics-Distributions-1.02-1.2.el4.rf perl-DBI-1.40-8 perl-HTML-Parser-3.35-6 perl-libxml-perl-0.07-30 perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-13 perl-Parse-Syslog-1.03-1.2.el4.rf perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7-1 perl-suidperl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4

right now I am focusing on perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1

and I want to figure out how to migrate to the latest version of Net::DNS on the

http://www.net-dns.org/

website or learn if .59 has been rolled into the upstream and therefore to centos 4 or ???

i ask this as I am leary of upgrading production centos servers via CPAN

I am looking to list wisdom to get some direction to help solve this one first please.

I have researched the basics yet if I may please get a little help to continue going in the right direction I would be most grateful.

I am sure I will want to add or upgrade some of the others as well.

Ummm much of this is in relation to Spamassassin 3.1.7 issues

Please chime in on creating a new RPM or using CPAN and any other ways that you folks are dealing with this pleasae?

Thank you and kind regards
