I guess you want to make sure the same Perl runs your "binary" that
built the binary.  It caught me because I upgraded Catalyst and then
my catalyst.pl script wasn't working like I expected -- because I had
an old version in /usr/local/bin.

Still, seems odd to see the .packlist list all files installed to
/usr/local except catalyst.pl.  I normally reserve /usr/bin for my
distribution installed files and /usr/local for everything else.

Yep, works as expected.
