perlbrew doesn't compile Perl modules into executables. perlbrew compiles a whole another installation of perl for you, so that you don't have to use /usr/bin/perl. Once you're using your new perl, you can install whatever modules you want from CPAN without wasting time getting build and install paths correct everywhere. -------- We're hiring! http://bestpractical.com/jobs
