Why are you installing modules in the system Pel anyway?

- Apple will screw you if you do this. An update in a system update
will kill your code at done point (it's happened in the past)
- The latest version of Perl that currently ships with a Mac is 5.10,
which given that 5.14 is in RC now, is very soon to be end-of-lifed
- It takes four lines of typing to install your own Perl with brewperl
