No, I haven't tried moving them.  I'd rather do it the "right" way.

Perl upgraded itself to 5.6.0 the first time I used CPAN to install
something (I think it was the DHCP client).  I don't think it even
asked me if I wanted it.  I don't know.  I had just monkeyed around
a bunch getting Linux to see my ethernet card when I used CPAN for
the first time, so maybe I didn't pay as much attention to all the 
messages it was spitting out.
