Hello Chris,

This method can actually cause problems with the PDK, among other
things.  For Windows software, read the article here:

http://blogs.activestate.com/kevinw/2006/02/upgrading_activ.html

For Unix versions of ActivePerl, delete all files and directories save
for lib/site-perl from the ActivePerl installation directory, then
install the new version in the same directory.  This keeps PPM-installed
modules intact, but does not leave behind files from previous
installations that can mess things up.

Cheers,

kjw
