It's more because I have a nicely working perl installation right here,
which sits happily in my system's package management system, and I'm not
going to mess with it without a *really* good reason. I also refuse to
let myself be led down a route which may restrict my ability to upgrade
easily in the future. I just did 'sudo rpm -Uvh perl*.rpm' and went from
5.6.0 to 5.6.1, with not a single problem. I doubt it'll be that easy
with Activestate and I don't want to find out the hard way that it isn't.
They *must* work with any old perl distro (of the right version, of course)
or even one that $user has compiled from sources, if they are to be taken
seriously.
