All the 6xx build should be binary compatible.  You should not install a
6xx build on top of a 5xx installation though, which is mentioned in the
release notes.

Since you installed ActivePerl build 626, it seems kind of obvious to me
to use the 6xx repository, not the 5xx one.  I don't know how we could
make this clearer.  Maybe it's the stress of users calling... :)
