In fact, you could probably create a hints file for 5.6.x that would let you use release numbers in /Library/Perl/ but not in /System/Library/Perl/ (so as to not get in Apple's way). That would probably work pretty well, I think. But it would mean that you'd have to rearrange some things in /Library/Perl/ if you've already installed some modules there. -Ken
