In the queue to do. Also, want to dual boot with Linux, but that's for an other discussion forum. :)
2. Upgrade Perl following the directions at: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html This will get you the current version of Perl.
Right before doing #1.
--As for the rest, it is mine.
Don't bother doing both: it will just mean you have an extra copy of Perl on your system. (And a non-standard one at that: Panther includes a normal Perl build, which you couldn't quite do under Jag.)
Upgrade Perl if you need the new version of Perl and don't plan on upgrading Mac OS X soon. Otherwise, just take the standard build in Panther, which was up to date at the time of Panther's release. (If you want to upgrade afterwards just use the normal Perl upgrade instructions.)
