If you have interest in a stable and reliably working system i still
wouldn't upgrade to libc6. Just take the sources from hamm's
perl-5.004 and simply compile it with the libc-5.4.33 under your bo
system to produce a suitable perl package. I'm using lots of the
packages provided in hamm but usually compile them because i can't
afford the risc and possible hassle of upgrading to libc6. But i
really want to use up to date software instead of some stuff already
outdated upon release.
