I, unfortunately, do not have much control over installing new versions, unless I can show that a bug exists in this version which was fixed later. This version was the default one provided by the OS. However, thank you for the suggestion. I'll try to get the message through.	[reply]

As a recommendation, I would suggest having your own, non-OS version of Perl as a dependency for your application. OS vendors do update perl occasionally, or you may find that you need to update something that the OS collides with. Having your own version of perl allows you to make the best decisions for your application. --MidLifeXis	[reply]

Thank you for the update MidLifeXis. (Wonder why I did not see an email informing of this new response. Need to check my profile settings). So, you mean I could just use perl brew to create my own installation of perl (and all its dependencies needed) and add that to the software which then becomes independent of the OS supplied version? I'll explore that path now. I just got in to report that I found two bugs in mysql (one dup of other) that nail the issue I am facing, but unfortunately, they are not fixed yet... I'll keep my fingers crossed while brewing the latest version and hoping it somehow, magically, solves the issue. Thank you for your help MidLifeXis and dave_the_m. Appreciate it.	[reply]
