What do you mean by > Should I pkgrm the existing perl If you have any Perl software that may rely on the current version of Perl, then you should be careful. OTOH, if this is a new installation without any Perl programs, then install a recognised version of Perl as soon as you can. A version 'installed with the OS' isn't a safe place to start.
