I just use symbolic links.
unpack the tar ball to say /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x
ln -s /usr/src/Slimserver_6.x.x /usr/local/slimserver
Just make sure your startup script points to 
/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl (for this example).
this allows you to keep a few versions of Slim around with thier origional 
names and dates incase an upgrade goes bad
and your start up scripts won't need to be changed.
You will probably also want to use command line options in the startup script 
to specify cashe dir, preferences, log file ect..
I put all of this in the slimserever users home directory.

I am running 6.0.2 on Linux.  How do I install 6.1.1?  Do I simply
unzip the tar into the existing Slim Server directory overwriting whats
there or should I delete the contents first?  Do I need to update Perl
as well?

Thanks,
Dan
