Actually, since I've done this, installing 5.8 over your stock perl does not seem to cause any problems in general.
Muuuuaaaaaahahahahah, NOT YET, it hasn't!
Grin.
Actually, I tend to do these kinds of "bad idea" perl installations from time to time, just because I know I can deal with it if things get hosed, and I like the experimentation. But I wouldn't recommend it to someone that just wants perl as a working tool in good shape. Sounds like you're probably of the same opinion, you don't mind tinkering a little with things if/when they break.
Absolutely. I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, I'm just reporting that if you're game, it so far hasn't proved to be a disaster ;-)
Besides, who wanted Quicktime 6.0.2 anyway, and I bet they fixed the script for 6.0.3!
Enjoy, Peter.
