I took a crack at compiling Perl on our 2.7 system when we first 
set it up.  Got *lots* of include-related compile errors, and this 
was with the same sources that compiled cleanly on the 2.6 box.

Since our 2.6 box required a huge number of patches before it was
able to compile Perl properly, I promptly gave up on 2.7.

We are a small development shop - applying patches take time...

Possibly with enough "maintenance" you could on 2.7 build Perl,
but that was certainly *not* the case with the initial release.
