I often find that testing dev releases on various (typically older) machines i'd like to modify a test script or something else
and then try the install again
but perlbrew re-extracts the original tarball and overwrites my changes.

So an option to not re-extract the tarball (and just use the previously extracted dir as is) would be nice in these situations.

It would probably be just as easy to allow perlbrew to install from a plain dir that was extracted from a tarball...
similar to the 'from git checkout' but not requiring `.git/`.

What do you think about either of those?
