Does Strawberry Perl still wipe out /site/lib and /site/bin contents? -


the question how upgrade strawberry perl without wiping \perl\site\lib\ , \perl\site\bin\? asked in 2011 , appears strawberry did throw out cpan installs user did whenever upgraded newer version. still case? found a comment adam kennedy seems related i'm not sure whether change made , implications are.

since strawberry perl said "100% open source" tried looking development site, place more details , @ discussions, couldn't find any, strawberryperl.com site strangely devoid of information in regard. wikipedia page (slightly) more informative. (edit: found http://code.google.com/p/strawberry-perl/ neat central portal of links, http://search.cpan.org/~kmx/perl-dist-strawberry-3.012/script/perldist_strawberry quite informative.)

also, in case strawberry still this, how can make local backup copy of modules? don't want have use cpan's autobundle , redownload scratch unnecessarily.

update future reference: comments gather since content in site/lib , site/bin build-dependent in strawberry perl, it's necessary wipe them out , start afresh when installing new version. necessity might go away if strawberry introduces separate arch-directory store architecture dependent stuff.

i rename c:\strawberry c:\strawberry-old before installing new version. chances copy modules old installation new 1 (not forgetting bits in "auto" directories). said, reinstall cpan anyway latest versions. helps if have .bat file automates favourite additions.
