Description-en: script to manage perl installations in your $HOME
perlbrew is a program to automate the building and installation of perl
in the users HOME. At the moment, it installs everything to ~/perl5/perlbrew,
and requires you to tweak your PATH by including a bashrc/cshrc file it
provides, in your shell configuration file. You then can benefit from not
having to run 'sudo' commands to install cpan modules because those are
installed inside your HOME too. It's a completely separate perl environment.
