Was updating my out of date packages. One was perl. Under newer setup (2.573.2.2) it would get an access violation, repeatedly, as it was trying to remove perl.
I ran the older setup (2.510.2.2). Worked fine the first time. There were other packages that were being installed at same time, so I tried them separately (under new-setup), they worked fine. But with just perl&doc, ->Coredump. As said, older setup worked fine except for warnings to upgrade to the newer, non-working version. ;^/ My perl is installed now, so I am not "blocked" in any way, but I did want to mention the reliability issue on the new setup in case others ran into it. What was supposed to change in the new setup, anyway? Is there a URL for the Changelog?
