I don't think Perl5 is quite ready for prime-time, and although patch2 will be out RSN which may fix most of the remaining critical bugs it would be unwise to rely on a tool that may/may not be stable. Perl4 (the version in the tree) works and all of our stuff has been tested with it. Making that large of a change which many of the scripts and such rely on at this stage of the game is not a good idea IMHO. Maybe for 2.2 is someone wants to bmake it. (hint, hint) Nate
