After having some investigation on this subject, it comes clear to me 
that Perl is a very important part of my FreeBSD. Before that I 
considered it only as an app, nothing more than that *-) I did the 
update on a backup server and it took me 5 hours to get this done (going 
thru a full install of FreeBSD). Rebooted the system and so far no 
strange side-effects.
I will though keep attention on evt. flaws on its behavior, allthough I 
expect the developer has it throuroughly tested before releasing it.

thanks for sharing,
