+Upgrade Traps and Pitfalls:
+
+Since a lot has changed in the build process, you are probably best off
+starting with a fresh copy of the perl5.002 sources.  In particular,
+your 5.000 or 5.001 config.sh will contain several variables that are no
+longer needed.  Further, improvements in the Configure tests may mean
+that some of the answers will be different than they were in previous
+versions, and which answer to keep can be difficult to sort out. 
+Therefore, you are probably better off ignoring your old config.sh, as
+in the following:
+
+       make distclean # (if you've built perl before)
+       sh Configure [whatever options you like]
+       make depend
+       make
+       make test
