You need to keep the useint* and usemymalloc settings from 5.14.2, then
it should be ok.
For the new 5.22 one you need to disable usemymalloc and remove the
"_0"/".0" suffix in
the dll and archname directory name to provide seemless upgrades to
5.22.1 and 5.22.2
later, to fix the .0 bugs. Typically a .0 perl release is of very poor
quality.
The plan sounds good.
