Did I say I expect Perl to do the right thing? :-)

Compiler optional? (Score:2)
Re:Compiler optional? (Score:1)
That's a great point. Please add that request to the RT tracker. However, keep in mind that this is just alpha 1 -- there may be some substantial changes along the way, not just "little upgrades".
Generally, if we did the installation right, you won't need every little upgrade as a binary, you can just install new modules from CPAN. (Maybe the module "upgrades" will be released as a "Task" module to simplify that.)
I imagine that new versions of the installer will mostly improve how the installer integrates the pieces with your operating system and for that we may need a fresh start entirely.
We haven't even really begun to address upgradability at all. I.e. should everything in perl\site\lib be preserved? Should only some things be preserved? There is still a lot to figure out.
