I would be happy to do a writeup of some sort, Gabor.  Not, perhaps, at
this very instant---I do actually have work I should be doing ;)---but
in the next week or two.

However, I could make it more useful if I could get some guidance from
you (and others) about what things you specifically find vexing about
going the aptitude route that leads you to look at local::lib or
perlbrew---otherwise I suspect that the things that others might be
fighting are things I figured out how to work with so long ago that I
don't remember them as obstacles.

Mike.
