  so let me ask a different question in exactly the same way -- any
issues with "upgrading" to perl 5.12 on a running ubuntu 10.10 system?
this isn't a massively high priority, and i can always just install it
additionally under /usr/local or something, but it would be easier to
just replace 5.10 if it didn't cause any annoying breakage.
