Not all-of-a-sudden, but there are some dependencies which may be tricky to resolve. (For example, you need to break the package dependencies in some of the Perl packages so that you can recompile new ELF versions of Perl DynaLoaded modules without breaking the whole universe.) In my case it was made somewhat easier because I had not yet updated my system to the new Perl, so all of the things I needed to keep running during the upgrade were using the old Perl port. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
