Please DON'T use "system-perl" ! this causes havoc on systems (like  
mine, x86-64/10.5)
where there  is no "system-perl", so to user has to manually intervene  
for any such
pkg to switch the deps to something universally available ! (Or try  
hacking for himself,
as I finally did in despair, an appropriate "system-perl" info file  
(of type "bundle")
to get rid of those problems.. but that's extremely unsafe probably:  
depepending on
some perlXYZ-core may not be sufficient, while depending on perlXYZ  
might block any
possibility, for other pkgs, to switch between different perl  
versions..)

So _ please avoid system-perl like hell: it is a hornet's nest !
