For example, take a look at the dependency chains for current Inlne::C and Math::GMP on a fresh install of perl-5.22 - and imagine trying to do all that by hand.

Great use case for Perlbrew!! 

# perlbrew switch perl-5.10.1
# rm -rf ~perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.22.0
# perlbrew available
# perlbrew --notest install perl-5.22.0

[download]
... 
# perlbrew switch perl-5.22.0
# perlbrew install-cpanm
# cpanm -n Inline::C
# sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
# cpanm Math::GMP

I don't think you are saving yourself any time by not learning to use perlbrew. Well, I guess you are already self imposing a negative consequence of restricting yourself from using Math::GMP.
