Oh that's interesting, I don't know if we can do that or not. That's a  
really good idea if we can do it.

Perhaps we should check to see what freebsd ports does?

We can do this, but it makes the search order different from vanilla  
(non-macports) perl.

I maintain two that do, but I'm not sure what else currently does (if  
we can do minimal perl with a bunch of ports to fill in the normal  
modules, we'll probably have to add a bunch of module ports).
