Unfortunately, that's the price of a chroot... Remember to also install all your Perl modules to the chroot jail for the same reasons... Basically a separate install of Perl would be intelligent. If you want some form of package management/uninstall for the new one, or even just don't want to deal with compiling etc, you might install a binary ActivePerl distribution - I do this on several servers of mine.
