in reply to How should I manage CPAN when using two versions of Perl in my computer?

I am curious-since you are on a *nix-based system, have you considered using perlbrew (here or here) as a way to manage the (possibly multiple) "local" installation(s)?

Also, remember that you can have a local CPAN configuration (via the 'mkmyconfig' command) so your user can have a CPAN configuration apart from the system CPAN configuration.

Hope that helps (and looking forward to the potential answers to this question).
