Wouldn't that break most of the 3rd party scripts out in the world?
Well-behaved 3rd party scripts ought to start Perl via:
#! /usr/bin/env perl
...so long as /usr/local/bin is in the $PATH, they should still work fine.
I commonly use this approach, but I run into some problems with flags.
Probably a simple gotcha someone can help with.
Eg the following useful constructs don't work:
#!/usr/bin/env perl -p
#!/usr/bin/env perl -T
#!/usr/bin/env perl -w
