I would suggest make a mental note of this and should you run into trouble later on simply see about upgrading Perl (if possible) or see if you can work out what the tests are testing and why they would fail. You are often able to avoid problems if you know exactly what causes them. Personally I usually do not bother upgrading Perl unless there is some serious error that's blocking me. The main reason is that you will have to go over all your scripts and code to make sure that all of them still work as intended. Even though there should be no difference it is a dangerous assumption that things will always work as advertised. :-) Regards, Rob
