   What kind of compatibility problems did you run into? Missing
   modules? Or? I think it was Matthew Seaman, who posted here nice guide
   of upgrading existing perl modules to be usable with new (port)
   version of perl. I will look into it... ah here it is:

   Also Kent Stewart (in reply to Matthew's posting) has mentioned that
   one has to upgrade also automake due to its need for perl.

   Anyway there is a command to revert to previous (system) version of
   perl. Just type use.perl system and you are good to go.

   
   	Cheers,

	Martin
