How to update perl

[fritz-bayer]

Hi,

when I run a perl script of mine, I get a segmentation fault. So I
guess this is a bug. I just don't know, if it is a bug in perl or some
of my linux libraries. I'm using debian/sarge with kernel 2.6.14.2. The
perl version I use is:

v5.8.4 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

Because I think it is a bug, I would like to try to update all my
installed modules from cpan. Can somebody tell me a command, which
updates all installed modules automatically?

I also would like to know why I get this segmentation fault. It occurs
within a regular expression. Does somebody know a workaround or how I
should change my code?

Here is the stack trace:

write(1, "Link text after removing tags an"..., 45Link text after
removing tags and entities:

I also would like to know why I get this segmentation fault. It occurs
within a regular expression.

I know it couldn't possibly have any bearing on the subject, but humor
us - would you mind telling us exactly what this regular expression is
that causes this problem? Or, are you saying that ANY regular
expression causes this?
