How do I upgrade Perl?

Does anybody here know what SSH command to use to upload a tar file of perl from my local hard disk to the remote server, and what command to use to install it when it has been uploaded to the server? What folder on the server should it be done from? Also, the current version is 5.00 something and the upgrade is 5.6.1. Is there any known issues with this upgrade?

Thanks
John
