I would like to ask my system administrator to install various Perl modules such as Moose and Data::Alias. The system is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, running Perl 5.8.8. The only problem that I can think of is that some already-installed modules might need to be upgraded and thus run the risk of breaking something. What else should I be concerned about?
I do not know your company’s policy, but it would probably be a better idea not to mess with your system
perland install the additional libraries and their prerequisites (and even a dedicatedperl) in a different location and uselib.See also How do I keep my own module/library directory? in perlfaq.
