I would like to use the IO::Socket module but it requires perl 5.6. I
realize that perl is integrated rather closely with FreeBSD and various
system tools so I am unsure how a perl upgrade would affect the system.
Has anyone upgraded perl to 5.6? Has it affected cgi scripts badly or any
of the system utilities? Also, is there a way to install it safely to
another location?
I am running 2 FreeBSD 4.2 systems which were both built in the last 3
months.
Any tips would be appreciated.
