Not sure what all the fuss is about.
As you can configure *everything* in the configuration process...
why not install in a totally separate location and let the Apple
installed version as it is...?
if you just configure -des you end up with a /Local Directory anyway.
Why not determine the system files be located in /System/perl5.6.1 or
/usr/local/lib/perl
seems like it would work and rename your binary to perl5.6.1 and keep
everything?
also, I am using fink and it sets perl5lib to /sw/lib/perl ... there is
a directory structure and a few .pm files I guess they need.
perl -V gives me this.... on my newly installed 5.6.1 although I believe
it was the same before.
%ENV:
PERL5LIB="/sw/lib/perl5"
@INC:
/sw/lib/perl5/darwin
/sw/lib/perl5
/System/Library/Perl/darwin
/System/Library/Perl
/Library/Perl/darwin
/Library/Perl
.
so it seems we can set any directory into the @INC ...with a little
reading the manual..
(which I need to do too)

Or it needed some goobering....
