OSX: Simplify the new local Perl section, just mention what perlbrew as it's obvious enough how to use it from the webpage and most people probably won't be interested anyway.

* In a separate, local Perl install
This method gives you a cleaner, local Perl 5 setup.
Rather than using system Perl, you might also want to consider
the Perl manager, `Perlbrew <http://perlbrew.pl>`_.
* Visit http://perlbrew.pl/ in a browser
* Copy and run the first listed command, that begins ``\curl -L ...``
* Re-login to your shell
This installs Perl 5 locally in ``~/perl5/`` and provides an easy
way to install the latest Perl 5 and run CPAN against it, without
``sudo``.
You now have a new, local copy of the latest version of Perl installed in ``~/perl5``.
It will now be the default perl for your user as perlbrew adds appropriate shell
commands to your current shell's .profile (or equivalent file.)
You can now run ``cpan`` and the install commands shown above. You do not need
to prefix it with ``sudo`` (and should not do so.) The resulting CPAN setup
will be much quicker than with system Perl.
This also means you can migrate your
current Perl setup - including CPAN setup/modules - by migrating your home directory,
and it is also immune to changes from OS updates.
See http://perlbrew.pl/ for more details.
