Throw away this obsolete version of Perl and either obtain 5.002 that is
bundled with gcc on http://jazz.external.hp.com, or get 5.003 from
ftp://ftp.orbitsw.com/pub/perl5.003.mov.gz. [...]46_12Feb199715:24:[log in to unmask]

I just got off the phone (ok, yesterday) with my new sales rep (every
now and then, HP surprises me with a call from a 'new' sales person, who
then generally slips out of sight ... but that is another story), who is
99% certain that one cannot update MPE/iX directly from 4.0 to 5.5.
Since that is precisely what I would like to do, I'm hoping on the 1%
side of things.  Now, if faultering memory serves me, people on this
list have confirmed that it is indeed possible to do this.  What I would
like to know is has anyone here actually performed such a feat and
survived to tell about it?

TIA,
Bob
