I was going to say "easily upgrade", but that might turn out to be a lie :) Historically, new versions of perl are a recipe for large amounts of pain because of all the old perl code that stops working. It would be completely irresponsible to attempt that update prior to the release (and moreover, the packages are already finalized for 7.0 anyway, modulo security updates). Kris
