"There is an update to IO that is required that I am not allowed to make."

Then I guess it's time you raise this issue with the powers that be at your place of work. When building Perl for our clients fleet of Solaris servers I had to get the sysadmins to update various components, gcc and build tools among others. I appreciate that sometimes it can be difficult to state a case within certain organisations, depending on the policies surrounding such matters. I'm sure you'll find a strategy which works for your situation.

"You can move on to other threads, click the hide tab on this one."

Why the hostility? You realise you're asking for advice on a public forum? People don't even need an account here to reply to you. Also, my browser has no 'hide tab'.
