For Perl, I just do a complete build (hopefully scripted!) into
/usr/local and manage it with CPAN. There are some packages, like RT,
that require so many additional modules that it's just easier to
maintain a local perl than it is to work with the system-installed
version. So standard scripts can still reference /usr/bin/perl, but
scripts with extensive local dependencies use /usr/local/bin/perl.
