There is now an extra switch to install.sh that makes it uninstall all 
the Perl module RPMs, let you Ctrl-Z it, then you yum update perl, then 
fg the install.sh again and carry on.

Makes the upgrade process very easy.
Do "./install.sh --help" and it will show you the command-line options. 
Quite a lot of which do *not* have a "-" on the front of them, for some 
historical reason I have long since forgotten :)
