This is what I've been doing for years. Then I replace /usr/bin/
perl with a symlink to /usr/local/bin/perl.

So my question is ... what is the best way to make sure my new
install (in /usr/local/) has everything the OS expects?
Leave /usr/bin/perl alone, and write your own scripts with #!/usr/
local/bin/perl.
Can I just install a few extra CPAN modules and make the OS happy
Why do that, when it's trivially simple to avoid making it unhappy to
begin with?
What do the rest of you do?
I use 5.8.6. My scripts run fine with it, and why fix what ain't broke?
