Perl 5.10 sits the way of a 5.22 to-be-installed version while removing it first will not work due to lots of fundamental packages depending on Perl. Anyone an idea how to handle this situation gracefully?
Hipster has not been freezed in upgradable state so YMMV.

I suggest install inside Virtualbox and then do zfs send/zfs receive of 
both system dataset and user dataset of user made during install, so you 
can log in.
Previously one can make new BE with beadm , where zfs receive would 
come,  mount it with beadm and empty it. That way you can have fresh 
install that you can test and contribute to.

Be prepared that Hipster is work in progress and new contributors are 
badly needed,
and many of the applications I use core dumps recently.
