I know we agree on some things, Dean, but this is a can of wormskis, as we say
in Russia.

Where I work they pay a fortune to RH, who maintain but do /not/ upgrade their
RHE devil-spawn Perl V 5.8.0. I get syntax errors just trying to install
Contextual::Return, for example. This means I can't install Damian Conway's
Class::Std to use 'inside-out' classes.

I have permission to install and maintain my own Perl, but that creates overhead
for me. And being a contractor rather than staff confuses the issue, too.
