I am sure that there are scenarios where there might be some other issues, but they would evolve some kind of 3rd party repo perl installs or CPAN manual installs on CentOS5/RHEL5.
At least that is my experience with CentOS-5 or RHEL-5 and the FOSS GA install for RHEL-5.
Be expecting breakage if / when you update perl (if new versions are released later) as it will overwrite the CPAN Scalar::Util modules. |
Well I might be the exception but there are no extra packages on that machine (stock perl etc) and all I ever use to update it is the default yum repos shipped with CentOS5. Either way the rebuild was a non issue for Scalar::Util
Code:
# rpm -qa | grep perl-5 && perl -version
perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
Not saying it'll happen to everyone but just in case, what I had to do to get 5.0 GA FOSS to install was listed in my last post.
The best advice has already been given I think ... make sure you have a backup and the rpm of the version you're already running, if anything goes pop for any reason it's a very simple recovery.
I actually did the recovery then found that post and tried the upgrade again and everything worked like a charm. This weekend is the 5.0.1 upgrade for me
