Certainly not Bull, but IBM is providing two of those packages. I
realize that it's a mistake to think of IBM as a single entity, but
still It's frustrating that they offer a newer version of something
that they package in the OS distribution, but in a different packaging 
format. What version of Perl comes with AIX 5.1?

And I guess more relevent to my situation, is there an updated version
of Perl that comes with the maintenance updates to 4.3.3?  I haven't
applied any of the maintenance packages because unfortunately I don't
have enough free hard drive space to fit the packages! I hope to
correct that soon.
