perlbrew on OSX

ibm1620 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I've seen perlbrew recommended by a large number of people as a way to manage multiple local (within ~/) versions of Perl. My main desire is to be able to install Perls and CPAN modules without interfering with Mac OSX 10.8's system Perl.

I have installed perlbrew successfully, and tried using it to install Perl 5.14.2. This fails near the end, during a test: locale.t.

Test Summary Report
-------------------
../ext/POSIX/t/posix.t                            (Wstat: 0 Tests: 66 
+Failed: 0)
  TODO passed:   11
../lib/locale.t                                   (Wstat: 0 Tests: 117
+ Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  99

+2.42 cusr 50.30 csys = 516.91 CPU)
Result: FAIL

This error also occurs when installing 5.12.4, and it occurred previously when I tried all this under OSX 10.7.4.

I found this link which appears to address this problem, but I don't have any idea how to make use of it.

Could anyone provide some insight?

Thanks,

Chap
