I've had it on boxes with vendor trees of perl in strange places and multiple simultaneously live copies of perl. Of course on any such box you should tread carefully, but that doesn't stop certain vendors from producing boxes that have perls you can't upgrade, or even multiple perls at the very start, all with carefully buggered-up Config.pm's. -- `Come now, you should know that whenever you plan the duration of your unplanned downtime, you should add in padding for random management freakouts.'
