Once I got some time to deal with this I proceeded with the upgrade to
perl (et al). I tried first on the initial system with no error, and
then on 18 other systems -- again with no error.
These are all Debian GNU/Linux initial Squeeze install with repositories
now set to testing, with absolutely no "outside" software installations.
They are slightly divergent in configuration but largely the same with
Xfce as the DE on all systems.
I'm sorry for the noise. I thought I was going to run into problems when
I proceeded with the upgrade. (Don't know why -- probably lack of coffee
or brains or both.)
I hope this information can be of some small help.
