I do not lust for blood or death. I prepare for the warrior's call.
Install Perl 5.10 to /opt/perl and do the following:

code:
sudo ln -s /opt/perl/perl /usr/bin/perl10
You can then either run scripts using Perl 5.10 from the command line with perl10 [scriptname] or you can add /usr/bin/perl10 to the shebang. When 5.10 is finally added to Bunty's repos, all you need to do is make that symlink point to /usr/bin/perl and your scripts will still work without any editing.

HTH
