Perl upgrade question

	The UPDATING entry says:

You should update everything depending on perl. The easiest way to
do that is to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with
lang/perl5.8.

	The man page says:

       o review the files left in the older perl installation.
           This is typically /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.X.Y/.
           There should be very little, if any, files in that
           directory and its sub- directories, excepting a number of
           .ph files;

	Having gotten that far, I've got 40+ files - or at
least directories - in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8.  Most
have the ".pm" extension, with a few ".so", ".bs", and ".packlist"
thrown in.  No ".ph"
	Am I in trouble?  And if so, what next?

	Respectfully,


				Robert Huff
