Of course, but I'll take my chances. Perl hasn't failed me yet (at least,
since I built my own kernel d;^) and i can't imagine it'll give me too much
trouble. Normally I try to install things from pkgsrc if available, but the
perl package was too old and perl itself is just too easy to install to
convince me to use the pkgsrc there d:)

Anyway, thanks for the info Dan.
