Thanks. I found this thing called perlbrew, which allows generating a freah new perl binary quite easily and *without* messing up an existing set of perl binaries and associated libraries. So that *would have been* a solution to the problem that I had *seemed* to be facing. But (sigh) in the end it turned out that I didn't need to upgrade Perl after all. I just needed to upgrade my *understanding* of my Perl program... the one I had built which tried to process some internationalized domain names, but which kept on crashing for rather mysterious resons. I read something that suggested that my Perl might not have the latest and greatest understanding of international character sets, so I figured that that was the problem. But it tuned out that it was just barfing because I had failed to convert input from UTF-8 into Perl's internal representation (of international characters). So, all's well that ends well. But thanks for the suggestions guys. I appreciate it.
