So this jogs my memory a bit!  It's not so much perl itself but stuff
that uses perl that can get dirty and then no, you have stuff thats
built for system perl and stuff that's built with perl-native clashing.

Relying even more on memory, I think help2man was one of the "easy"
culprits and since we also modify the env, we do things like have
help2man run with PERL5LIB and so on pointing system-wide perl at
perl-native's lib directory and so forth.
