I have a lot of legacy perl scripts which look for /usr/local/bin/perl. I would like them to use the latest stable perl installed via perlbrew. For now I simply manually create a symlink from $PERLBREW_ROOT/perls/perl-5.20.1/bin/perl to /usr/local/bin, but that's hard to automate without knowing the current version number of the installed stable perl. It would be great if there was either a standard directory under $PERLBREW_ROOT that I could link to (eg. $PERLBREW_ROOT/aliases/stable), and/or (perhaps) a command such as: "sudo perlbrew symlink stable /usr/local".
