So, when the installer asks where to install it, tell it to install in /usr/local (or wherever you keep the non-system stuff you install for all users).
It's worth noting that it'll only ask if you run the configure script in interactive mode. There's also an option you pass to the configuration script to specify the install prefix. Most folks just do that, and also pass the option to accept all the other defaults and run the config script non-interactively.
You've got the right idea though - /usr/local is a great suggestion. Happily, it's the default, too. ;-)
There is a way to get a list, but I don't remember it, and javadoc seems to be interfering with my memory of perldoc right now. Maybe someone can help me here?
Umm... a list of what? Perls? "whereis perl" will do that. If you're in doubt about which of the installed Perls appear first in your PATH, "which perl" will tell you that.
