The result looks ways better than I had feared after the first
announcement. ;-)

Nice to have more wiki editors!

"perl gnc-fq-dump" will not really solve your problem. Instead you
should then run
"PATH/TO/MACOS/perl …"
"PATH/TO/MACPORT/perl …"
else the next user will complain "I rearranged my PATH variable and now
it's broken.

Perhaps add it as a section "multiple perl instances"? But I still think
it belongs more to troubleshooting than installation or usage.
