	Perl runs on a 9000/550 up to patch level 27 (28 and 29 applied at the same time break it in a big way -- won't even compile any more).  I haven't had the time to back out of patch 29 to see if it worked at 28, so I think I'll just wait for the release of Version 2.0.  When I initially brought it up on the 
9000/550, it didn't pass all of the tests supplied, although when I went thru
and ran the tests by hand, they all seemed to pass, with the exception of one
near the end of the list (can't remember which one it was, and I'm not on that
machine now).
