i have been reading the excuses for not having latest perl in suse.
Excuses? That sounds a bit harsh :)
can't one just downloaded the latest source and install it?
Of course you can. Or you can get an RPM for SuSE Linux 7.0 (i386) from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/grimmer/RPMS/ Bye, LenZ -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lenz Grimmer SuSE GmbH mailto:grimmer@suse.de Schanzaeckerstr. 10 http://www.suse.de/~grimmer/ 90443 Nuernberg, Germany Please, forget that, I was just going to start eating.

Of course, and it's straightforward to compile 5.6.0. But it's a heavy download, and the compile is also very resource intensive. Also, I fail to see the relevance of a distribution if you have to download all the new packages yourself :-(
