I don't remember problems with perl. Please refresh my memory. I can also say that I have been impressed with how quickly 'big problems' get fixed in Debian. One of the big problems I remember from at least six months ago which left things unusable was actually fixed with an upload by someone other than the package maintainer. So I have been happy with the response when there is a serious problem. I know that this following statement may be faulty in a logical sort of fashion, but I get more "feel goods" by doing the 'dist-upgrade' only every so often, every three days or so. rob
