The other day, I decided to finally update all my cygwin packages with
setup.exe -- including perl. Went from 5.8.0 to 5.8.5 and now realize that
the path to all the modules I installed is under the older version at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 instead of  /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5.
I've always shied away from upgrading perl in Linux so don't have much
experience dealing with modules from older installations. Must I re-install
all these modules, or can I add a path to them in my scripts, or should I
revert back to the older version of perl and if so, how? Any help
appreciated.
