Perlbrew install perl takes forever, just install already-compiled perl
perlbrew install perl compiles and runs all tests which takes forever on my machine to install (>60 mins). Is it possible to install pre-built-and-test-run perl using perlbrew like apt-get does for linux packages to save time?

Why does Perlbrew launch bash on Mac OS X Lion?
When I run...
perlbrew switch perl-5.16.0
...I get...
A sub-shell is launched with perl-5.16.0 as the activated perl. Run 'exit' to finish it.
...then a bash prompt appears.

If not, how can I fix it?
