>> If your |site\lib| has been created with ActivePerl 817 or earlier,
then you need to completely remove the whole directory tree, do a clean
installation, and reinstall your modules with PPM. This is necessary
because in ActivePerl 818 the order of |lib| and |site\lib| in |>> @INC|
has been reversed, and all bundled modules now reside in the |lib|
directory. Having older versions of these bundled modules in |site\lib|
at the front of |@INC| results in a broken installation.
I've ran 817 for the longest and it is nice to run across a note like
this in which I can keep in mind I upgrade 8.22.

Is this an applicable option to 817 and earlier? More preferably can
anyone share any experience(s) with rebuilding a large perl install from
817 (or earlier) using this method?
