It makes it "interoperate" with every other Unix box I have.  It gets 
it off a God damned case insensitive file system.  It follows Perl 
convention (directories for each individual version of perl both in 
/usr/local/lib/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl/site_perl) rather than 
the breakage of the hints/darwin.sh.
In short, it's much better.  *If* it breaks anything in Mac OS X, I'll fix it.
