Sean,

   I try to upgrade on a regular basis because SL is a critical application
for our business, but sometimes I skip a few versions. I was running 2.6.27
for a long time since I read of 2.8.x issues on the mail list, and the
earlier version worked. But, a month or two ago I decided it was time to
upgrade since the current version was (is?) 2.8.8.

   Had absolutely no problems with the upgrade, automatic data file
conversions, or running the application.

   I've used the perl script only on the initial installation. Since then
I've downloaded the tarball into /usr/local and untarred it. A couple of
times I had to fix permissions, but not recently.

   So, my upgrade from 2.6.27 to 2.8.8 was flawless and easy. Have no idea
about any other big jump. Perhaps you should try the manual upgrade process
and see if that works for you.

HTH,

Rich
