This was my way of thinking too, which is why i asked after being
advised against it.

Perl upgrade? I dont use any up2date type services, bit scared of
upgrade occurring automatically that break things. I only upgrade
componants when i specifically find i have a need to - which is probably
bad practise, so official support/patch frequency hasnt, so far, been a
very important factor for us.
