CentOS - Jan 2007 - second send with right perl grep info - http://www.net-dns.org/ and perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1 upgrade direction needed

Apologies for sending again, I did not include the correct perl grep the
first time. Please forgive the temporary idiot and do not feed the trolls.


:-)

Greetings again :-)

On this particular production centos 4 mail server system if I 

rpm -qa | grep perl

I get...

perl-Filter-1.30-6
newt-perl-1.08-7
perl-DateManip-5.42a-3
perl-libwww-perl-5.79-5
perl-XML-Encoding-1.01-26
perl-Time-HiRes-1.55-3
perl-CDB_File-0.94-1.2.el4.rf
perl-Archive-Tar-1.30-1.el4.rf
perl-URI-1.30-4
mod_perl-1.99_16-4.centos4
perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-30
perl-Parse-Yapp-1.05-32

perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-1.2.el4.rf
perl-Digest-SHA1-2.07-5

perl-DBI-1.40-8
perl-HTML-Parser-3.35-6
perl-libxml-perl-0.07-30

perl-Parse-Syslog-1.03-1.2.el4.rf
perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.7-1
perl-suidperl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4

right now I am focusing on perl-Net-DNS-0.48-1

and I want to figure out how to migrate to the latest version of Net::DNS on
the

http://www.net-dns.org/

website or learn if .59 has been rolled into the upstream and therefore to
centos 4 or ???

i ask this as I am leary of upgrading production centos servers via CPAN

I am looking to list wisdom to get some direction to help solve this one
first please.

I have researched the basics yet if I may please get a little help to
continue going in the right direction I would be most grateful.

I am sure I will want to add or upgrade some of the others as well.

Ummm much of this is in relation to Spamassassin 3.1.7 issues

Please chime in on creating a new RPM or using CPAN and any other ways that
you folks are dealing with this pleasae?

Thank you and kind regards
