Author Upgrading POE

Hi folks,

Is there a preferred way to upgrade POE on a system ? I have version
0.3301 installed and would like to upgrade to the latest. Should I just
do a 'perl Makefile, make, make install' with the newest version ? I
do not have direct access to the CPAN from that system so I have to use
the archive (perhaps there's another way, but using the archive is
straightforward and does not take time).

Also, where should the 'make test' then be ? After or before the
'make install' ?

Thanks !
Al

I've been pretty successful just doing the 'cpan -i POE' But you can still
do it longhand if you like.

Make test is done before the install to ensure that what you are about to
install is properly built.
