Reini,

A number of Perl modules included in perl-5.10.0-5 are out of date, and 
current CPAN packages are looking for newer versions.  (Module::Build 
and its EU::* friends in particular.)

Frankly, this is one reason that I disagreed with adding modules to the 
perl package itself, as it's clearly much more difficult to update them 
when it involves rebuilding all of perl.  (There are other reasons, as 
well.)  Besides, cygport makes it extremely easy to build and package 
CPAN modules.

One way or the other, could you please update these modules ASAP?


Yaakov
