Craig,
A few concerns I heard about:
[quote]
...
part of the problem is the integration with apache (mod_perl) and GNV
(location of executables, libraries and logicals/aliasses)
[/quote]
I know about mod_perl, should be rebuilt to new PERL version (from
apache.org? Has anyone done this already?) but what about the second
issue. I think it should be taken into account.

A second point is the lack of (official) suport for newer versions of
perl. Even on the last freeware CD is a newer version of perl (5.8.1)
available. HP sites still stay on the 5.6.1 version. Even the perl.org
site doesn't have any newer prebuild version for VMS avialable!
[/quote]
HP is to blame (well, sort of) if support is lacking there. WHY is HP
not officially supporting a new PRL version, by the way?
On PERL.ORG, I just checked, and there just remarks on 5.6.1 at HP, and
5.005-3 and 5.8.1. on the freeware CD's. Not about 5.8.4!
I think this site needs an update on this!
