in reply to perl 5.16.0 released!

Thanks for your efforts on PERL

I would like to update from Perl 5.10.1 to Perl 5.16 on Red Hat Linux.
I have tried yum update perl
Apparently 5.10.1 is the latest available by that method.
How might I upgrade our PERL to 5.16 on Red Hat Linux?
Thanks

    Don't upgrade; leave the system Perl alone. You may break your installation if you replace it in place.

    Instead use perlbrew to install a separate Perl.
