Not all-of-a-sudden, but there are some dependencies which may be
tricky to resolve.  (For example, you need to break the package
dependencies in some of the Perl packages so that you can recompile
new ELF versions of Perl DynaLoaded modules without breaking the whole
universe.)  In my case it was made somewhat easier because I had not yet
updated my system to the new Perl, so all of the things I needed to
keep running during the upgrade were using the old Perl port.
