in thread Installing (lotsa) modules

I never, ever allow anything to come remotely close to my system perl (or python etc).

Why? If the vendors repo for the system perl has modules, those were compiled and tested with the system perl and just work, just like they would with any custom perl installed with e.g. perlbrew.

For years I have just used the system perl and the system build system to compile and install modules (as *.deb, *.rpm, you name it) not present in the vendor's repo, with no adverse effect to the system perl or the system itself.

The system perl often comes along with patches (Debian for instance has a long patchlist) which are probably optimizing perl for the system at hand. If I were to compile the same perl version with the systems compiler, its libraries and those patches, it would be no different from the system perl.

And there is always local::lib.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
