Just to add a little more.. What I expierenced going from 5.6 to 5.6.1 was that when I ran CPAN, I was prompted to upgrade CPAN.pm. But, the instructions read that you can do this by upgrading Bundle::CPAN. Now upon upgrading Bundle::CPAN, I come back to see that it's installing 5.6.1. I mentioned this in the CB and I belive it was Tilly that said that just upgrading CPAN.pm would not do it, but upgrading the Bundle would. He also mentioned that there was a previous problem with just CPAN.pm. Anyway, it's probably nbot worth much, but that was my expierence.
