I don't know how others do their Perl upgrades, but I was lazy and wrote a small script to handle the dependency checking for the modules and whatnot that get listed in the +REQUIRED_BY files for the Perl port and the dependency lines listed in the +CONTENTS files for the modules or Perl-using files. If you would like to grab this, it is available at http://www.csh.rit.edu/~mfisher/update . -- Mike "...check your premises.
