Due to a number of distributions in the last year requiring 5.10, a recent attempt to install some Perl modules on the server failed :( As the server itself was running Debian Etch, which only has 5.8.8 as the latest version of perl, an upgrade was initiated. The server itself has now been upgraded to Debian Lenny, which comes with a default of 5.10.0.

However, all did not go smoothly. Due to the upgrade to 5.10, a number of distributions required reinstallation. While many installed without a fuss, some needed handholding, and while I'm hopeful that all are now installed, there may be one or two oddities that might be seen.

As such, if you come across a web page that isn't loading correctly, or are having problems connecting to the CPAN mirror, or are having problems with some other access you expected to be working fine, please let me (barbie @ cpan.org) know ASAP. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
