The machine in question is relied upon by several people for a living, so I'd rather keep it (moderately) stable. Has anyone got experience with perl-5.6 on potato ? perl from sid has a dependancy on libc6 (>= 2.2.3-1), I don't know perl well enough to judge if this is real, or just a packaging issue (ie, would repackaging myself work ?).
