[Aussie-sun] upgrading Perl, php, and mysql on raq-4i

I've compiled Perl 5.8.7 on my Raq-4i without a problem, and using the CPAN 
module it's been installed into /usr/local as per it's standard configuration.

I noticed that Sun's Linux setup has perl 5.0 as the default Perl offering and 
I'm wondering how I can actually go about replacing it with 5.8.7? Is there a 
way to do this without shutting down the server? Can I simply change the links 
to make /usr/bin/perl point to /usr/local/bin/perl (the 5.8.7 front-end), and 
then delete the old 5.0 installation including it's directories?

Also, how can I change the php installation so it supports the 'gettext()' 
function? I have a few sites running on my raq-4i using phpBB and the gallery2 
package, and those two packages need to have gettext() available to support 
proper international language support.

Regards,

Craig.
