[arch-general] Perl Help?

What I did wasn't perfect but works well enough for now.  After removing 
both directories I was able to run cpan with no problems.  The cpanp 
command came up with errors on several missing packages.  I used cpan to 
reinstall those missing packages and now have cpanp working as well as 
cpan.  I figure with the two of those perl installation and update 
programs working should a problem arise in the future I'll probably be 
able to fix it with one of the utilities.
