Can someone point me at a brief synopsis of the pitfalls of installing the Fink perl 5.8.4 on Panther? My experience in the past has been that perl is so married to the OS it was never worth the headache of upgrading. All of the related stuff had to be rebuilt at the same time. I read in the desc that " Fink's perl packages retain the perl version subdirectories in the lib tree. Without these, upgrading or downgrading Perl breaks all of the binary modules." but what exactly does that mean? Are most things going to keep right on using the old perl and if so is it even worth it? Is CPAN a better way to accomplish the upgrade?
