O enlightened Perl masters, I lay my humble question at your feet:

Okay, so I have this module, and I have a bug report that says it doesn't install properly if module X isn't installed. Unfortunately, I have module X installed ... in fact, I have several Perls running under perlbrew, and it's installed in every one of them.

So, it occurs to me that all I need to test this is a new Perl, wherein I will install absolutely nothing. Except, it now occurs to me to wonder ... since I already have one or more Perls in my perlbrew, and since all I really want is a Perl with no modules installed, and since it takes forever-and-a-day to build a new Perl, shouldn't there be some sort of way to copy one of my perlbrew Perls without copying all the modules? That's bound to be quicker than building from scratch ... right? (FTM, is it even possible to have two Perls in a perlbrew with the same version?)

The perlbrew docs don't seem to be any help. Is it possible to do what I'm thinking? Or is there a better way to achieve what I want to achieve?

(PS: Yes, I know I will probably spend more time waiting for an answer here than it would take to just build a new Perl, but it's the principle, dammit!)
