That's great perlboy_emeritus

As you previously said, it looks like apple prefers to keep their perl (and cc and and and) untouched, frozen (and they have good reasons from their point of view - compare this with open source OSs and how often their perl or cc upgrades).

On the one hand, they probably don't want the system to break with any new addition or upgrade to their perl.

On the other, it is they who insist users should upgrade their OS (I will do it if you guarantee my systems will not break) and when they don't, users find themselves they live in the caves with all these messages 'this program needs at least OSX so and so'. cf skype

So, great! but keep an ear for any cling-clang noises coming from the engine room, you don't want to break other things down there with this hack.
