Rt & perl INC variable

How do you guys set up the perl modules rt requires, so if you upgrade
the version of perl, you don’t have to reinstall rt? I’m in suse linux
7.1 with perl 5.6.0, and it seems imperative I upgrade perl.

I’m not sure I understand your questions. You should just be able to
upgrade perl, as long as you install all the modules RT needs, and
deal with the irksome mod-perl issues, RT should be fine.

I thought some people might keep the perl modules rt needs in a seperate
directory and then add it to INC, so that you wouldn’t have to reinstall
them when you upgrade perl.

Well, normally perl is smart enough not to smash over existing/newer
versions of modules you have. I guess it depends on how you upgrade
perl. Some package managers tend to delete everything in sight then
install new stuff. This tends to break perl, since the library tends
to be updated outside the package manager’s view.

Well, I’m in suse linux, and it doesn’t come with a lot of the perl
modules rt needs, so I have to cpan the same modules all over
again. Then some of the tests fail and I have to figure out which other
perl modules it wants, etc…
