Dear Sir, I am writing to say that, On Thu, May 23, 2002 at 06:25:37PM +0300, Odhiambo Washington wrote: > Does this really upgrade the Perl in the system?

Unless one of the modules in the bundle depended on a new Perl it would not upgrade the system Perl. If you want a new Perl, there is a port/package of the latest stable Perl (5.6.1). This will not upgrade the system Perl AFAIK.
