One of these issues is providing Gentoo's perl as the default when

appends the PATH from '/etc/profile.env' to the existing PATH, rather
than inserting to the beginning of the existing PATH.
This is consistent with the intent of collision-protect. People (users,
ISVs) care about the behaviour of Apple's OS X. That is, they care
about
avoiding collisions in the file system only in as much it preserves
that
behaviour.
Why not provide something like perl_select (like apples gcc_select) or
perl-config? I use gcc_select to switch between apples gcc and gnat for
OS X.
