If you want to use CPAN (and you want to keep things somewhat simple for yourself) - you should install your CPAN libs into some other directory (something like ~/perl5 works). I'll add a port for local::lib shortly (I'm not sure why we don't have one already) - but it makes it easier to deal with the situation. -- Daniel J.
