I'll have to load it myself. debian sid does. So all debian derivatives can install from the sid repo. http://packages.debian.org/sid/perl 5.12.3-6 for most archs. 5.10.?? for alpha and few others But I agree, building and installing from source is probably your best bet. Heck install it to /usr/local or /opt or wherever and add symlinks to your ~/bin. This will keep the distro happy with it's stable version of perl. -Phil
