As has been repeated on PerlMonks countless times: "Don't mess with system perl, install you own one on your home directory".

The reason is twofold:

  1. If you mess up something in the perl installation provided by your operating system, you operating system mit not be able to work correctly or may even fail to boot properly.
  2. Your operating system/package manager can update/change/remove/patch perl modules at any time, depending on the ever-changing dependencies of your installed programs. You don't want to spend hours trying to find a bug in your own programs, only to find out that your OS distributor did make some unofficial changes to some module.
