Nitpicking, but that's not how perl installs itself, that's how
perlbrew installs & manages perl. If you don't like it, you could try
installing perl manually by downloading the tarball & passing your own
options to ./Configure, or by running ./Configure interactively.
Admittedly those are a bit of a pain, but they'll give you the freedom
to install perl in whichever way you want.
