You don't seem to have moved on much from when you last asked this  
question?

Perl is in the base install - write it down somewhere.

Good luck upgrading the boxes - read, re-read, plan ("fail to plan,  
plan to fail"),
do on a test box (as close to your production set-up) if you are  
really worried.

Don't take any short-cuts.

And then wonder what all the fuss is when it turns out to be a piece  
of cake.

HTH.
