Perl upgrade

[Jay Latham <deltamud@telocity.com>]

Is it possible to upgrade my stock potato version of perl to the
5.6 version supplied in woody without completely crashing my
system. The reason I ask is, I tried this with sendmail and had
a hell of time getting my e-mail back even after I went back to
the potato version. The only good thing that came out of that
was that I'm now fairly proficient in setting up email using
sendmail, procmail, fetchmail, and Mutt. ;-)

Thanks,
