Steve, Johan, et.al. I'm sorry to hear that Citrus Perl is dormant. It worked well for me.
Listed below is an annotated version of Steve's script. Before I try to run it, I have more questions. There are some git commands between perl Build and perl Build Install and between make and make install. Is this ordering necessary? I'd like to move the git stuff below the build/make stuff. Should there be a section for recommended other perl modules to install? What would be a good list of these for a broad audience. Any other comments/corrections are welcome.
