ReadyNAS Ultra Perl upgrade?
I'm trying to install a plug-in for Logitech Media Server that requres a relatively recent version of Perl (ShairTunes2W, fyi). My ReadyNAS appears to be running Perl 5.008008 (f/w 4.2.30), which is anything but. Is it possible to upgrade the installed version of Perl to something more recent? If so, is there a recommended version and/or process?

Oops, that should be perl 5.8.8. cp error...
Hello Tarl,
It may be possible but this is beyond Netgear support already.
Perhaps wait for other community members who can share their thoughts.
Welcome to the community!
Regards,
It is not a good idea to upgrade Perl because it's used so much by the OS. But, you can install a parallel version. This may help: Install parallel Perl on Debian. As for how to get your LMS to use the parallel version, I can't really help.
Another option would be to put OS6 on your Ultra (doing so is unsupported and does require a factory reset - wipes all data, settings, everything - so you would need to backup your data first).
Hm, sounds like an interesting option – I'll investigate. Thanks for the heads up!
