Percona 5.6 was recently released (yesterday at the time of this post). So as simple example what all does it take to move to this "drop in replacement?"
While it would be nice to be able to Move from MySQL to Percona with such a simple command you will get conflicts if you tried it.
So instead you have to do the following.
You should already have backups but just in case create another one.
An extremely simple example below with Xtrabackup
You are now free to explore Percona 5.6.

Percona Server is distributed with several useful UDF (User Defined Function) from Maatkit.
Run the following commands to create these functions:
mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION fnv1a_64 RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libfnv1a_udf.so'"
mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION fnv_64 RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libfnv_udf.so'"
mysql -e "CREATE FUNCTION murmur_hash RETURNS INTEGER SONAME 'libmurmur_udf.so'"
See http://code.google.com/p/maatkit/source/browse/trunk/udf for more details
