 * Oh, no! They change things in wierd-and-wonderful ways.

Eek.  Maybe you can add a "/bin/rm -rf /usr/libdata/perl5/5.005" in
the install rule when you upgrade to 5.006. :)

 * All my own work. The flames will be pretty cool by the time they cross the

Some might be blowing right over Africa....

 * They can be, but this can be fixed. I like /usr/local/share/perl5/man/...

That sounds cool.

 * Cool. The question is not whether you are paranoid or not, the questions is
 * wheter you are paranoid _enough_. :-)

No, I don't think I'm paranoid enough.  Not by a long shot.

 * The guys making the packages didn't always get it right.

The interesting thing is, the p5-* ports didn't change, but perl going 
from 5.004 to 5.005 somehow changed the way p5-* ports install stuff
in many different ways.  Err.

 * Great things, SEP fields :-)

:)
