    worse, the new mods needed:

    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::IP'
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Sys::Hostname'
    perl -MCPAN -e 'install Number::Format'

    takes one into a full upgrade of PERL 5 to 5.8, which on slower machines
    takes a ton of time.

    Is there anyway to avoid that 5.8 hell?

    thanks
