A longish message appears at the end of the perl upgrade build, that 
explains how to run perl-after-upgrade. If you overlooked that, the same 
instructions are at
#perldoc perl-after-upgrade
If the script is in a directory not in your root's path, find the full 
path to the script with
#locate perl-after-upgrade
(but make sure your locate db is up-to-date, first).
