You would be, definitely.

Until I started building my own Perl (and telling it to include the system Perl libs in its @INC), I had nothing but trouble, especially when doing system updates.

If you build your own, it's guaranteed to have the options you wanted, as opposed to whatever Apple has decided are the right ones.

A ./Configure -d should build you a workable Perl without you having to answer any questions. If you're into customizing it, leave off the -d and you can customize it to death.

Or you can use MacPorts or (maybe) brew to install Perl.
