I've ran 817 for the longest and it is nice to run across a note like 
this in which I can keep in mind I upgrade 8.22.

Is this an applicable option to 817 and earlier?  More preferably can 
anyone share any experience(s) with rebuilding a large perl install from 
817 (or earlier) using this method?
