What hardware are you running on? Eventually its going to wear out and you are going to need to upgrade anyway. 2.6 is WAY deprecated. Anyways assuming you are not going to upgrade the OS you could check out Sun's Live Upgrade option where you can build an alternate boot sector while running, then mount that..install the new version of perl there - Boot from the sector during the outtage window and test your apps. If they blow up you can boot back from the old sector and blow away the other one. If this is a multi-domain system (E10K, 6800, F15K)you could also DR in a spare board and do your testing that way

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
