Hi Steve, sorry for the delayed answer! I cannot speak for SS 6.3.1 but I have an installation of 6.3.0 running on the MIPS Linkstation working fine. I got it and the installation instructions from the same place referred in the original place (LinkstationWiki). What is strange is that you're investigations are somehow indicating you've got perl version 5.8.5 whereas the current Openlink version 0.52b (http://linkstationwiki.net/index.php?title=Projects/OpenLink) contains perl version 5.8.7.
If you have not already removed all the perl stuff, let me give one additional hint there: the line lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Aug 25 15:43 /usr/local/bin/perl -> perl5.8.5 again indicates a symbolic link (in this case from /usr/local/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5) and therefore the "file ..." command has to be rerun on the real executable, i.e. try file /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.5 or any further files if this is still just a link pointing somewhere else. REGARDING THE FIRMWARE UPDATE: - I hope someone corrects me if this is wrong but from my point of view the SS version 5.4 won't update anything on the NAS as the firmware is not downloaded but is contained in the SS package. As 5.4 is quite old there might not be a newer version of the Firmware included than the one you already have on your SB. - I am not sure (don't have the manual available right now) but can it be that you have to do the factory reset or something similar via the remote control for the Squeezebox to initiate a Firmware update? Hope all this is of any help for you!
