in reply to upgrade broke perl?

So as a post-mortem of sorts, what possessed you to upgrade the OS installed Perl? It seems like a blind spot that even veteran system engineers and system administrators fall pray to, so I'm always a bit curious when things like this happen.

FWIW, as a general rule it's best to leave what the OS ships with alone as much as possible. Sorry you had to find that out the hard way. :/
