title: In-place Perl upgrade from source
body: <p>Is there a standard way to upgrade to a new, minor version (and binary compatible) of Perl without a full recompile from source?</p>
  
  <p>For example, if I have Perl v5.24.0 installed with a bunch of CPAN modules, can I upgrade this installation to v5.24.1 without recompiling a whole new build and doing the same for all of the CPAN modules installed under v5.24.0? Or do I have to create a list of all installed CPAN modules, compile a new Perl, and reinstall those CPAN modules using the newly compiled version?</p>
  
  <p>I'm not seeing an easy way to "patch" the current system, using the source code from the latest release. (Note: I'm wondering if there is a native way to do this (i.e., not using perlbrew)).</p>
