so now you need your own private copy of perl in /opt/local as well.... else the package system may clobber your perl modules installed by hand too.  It becomes a very tangled web when you have some stuff manually installed and some by packages, were the manual stuff is intermixed with the packages, like CPAN installation of modules.
