Yes, well portablility is a great thing and that's why I install Perl 
in the default location /usr/local/bin, which is linked to from 
/usr/bin on most servers.  I am sure perlbrew has its uses but I have 
a poor memory and if I install things in the usual places I can more 
easily find the answers to my problems.  In the home environment I 
simply use either #!/usr/bin/perl or #!/usr/local/bin/perl depending 
which perl I want to use.  On most remote servers the two are 
equivalent and I have no control over which Perl they have installed.

Glad it worked.  If you want some real fun, try installing PDL :-)
