FWIW, the CPAN behavior that tries to get you to upgrade to 5.6.1 is
actually a bug in CPAN, that can be avoided if you upgrade to the latest
CPAN *by hand* (not using CPAN).  The problem is with installing modules
that have been merged into the base perl install - it doesn't understand
that it can get them on their own, so it gets them by grabbing the latest
perl.  This has caused a lot of problems for us when installing modules.
