To upgrade or not to upgrade ? In my point of view, it's interesting to upgrade modules like MakeMaker and CPAN.pm in 5.6.2, because they participate in the process of module cooperation that essentially makes perl successful. On the other hand I'd like to avoid breaking things for 5.6.2. Hence one of the first things to try would be to integrate the newest MakeMaker in 5.6.2 -- and roll it back if it causes problems. Which version of MakeMaker does perl 1 come with ? :)
