Subject:   upgrading to perl 5.6

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.
