upgrade info request

[Jon Miller]

Yes, I got the same plus some extras.  But what I want to do is upgrage SA and using apt-get does not yield anything regarding SA. I'm assuming the only way of doing this is either to download and compile the .tgz or a perl upgrade.  I saw on the CPAN search there is SA version 3.1.  Also I wanted to install the Net::DNS and this too only sits at the prompt.  So either my perl isn't configured properly or something else has gone off.

In a new cpan session run the command: "o conf init" ( no quotes)
this will walk you through the configuration.

However, if you are on debian you should be using apt-get / apt-cache
search to find and install the perl libraries
For example:
apt-get update;apt-cache search perl|grep dns

gives me:

-- libnet-dns-perl - Perform DNS queries from a Perl script
