perlbrew is a program to automate the building and installation of perl in an
easy way. It provides multiple isolated perl environments, and a mechanism for
you to switch between them.
Everything are installed unter ~/perl5/perlbrew. You then need to include a
bashrc/cshrc provided by perlbrew to tweak the PATH for you. You then can
benefit from not having to run 'sudo' commands to install cpan modules because
those are installed inside your HOME too.
For the documentation of perlbrew usage see perlbrew command on CPAN, or by
running perlbrew help. The following documentation features the API of
App::perlbrew module, and may not be remotely close to what your want to read.

Fix every instance of RUN_DEPENDS:=${BUILD_DEPENDS} in p5 ports, except
for where it resulted in a change in output from build-depends-list or
run-depends-list.

Make it so that the default Perl is always called perl5.
- Move Perl's man1 files along with its man3 files.
- Move where Perl installs its modules man1 pages.
- Convert the ports installing man1 pages.
- Make different Perl versions installable at the same time.
Though you should note that only the default version can be used to
install Perl modules, and the non default Perl versions cannot use the
modules installed via ports if they contain .so as they are installed
in a version specific directory.
