Quick tip for openSUSE users of App::perlbrew...

Ever since I installed 11.2 on my ultra40 a few months ago, perlbrew has been busted for me.  After failing, the build log always ended with:

ODBM_File.xs:124: error: too few arguments to function ‘dbmclose’

I finally took the trouble to fix it.  After some googling, I saw that others on opensuse had seen this while compiling on their own, but didn't readily see any search results for how to easily fix it with an automated builder like perlbrew.  Turns out the secret sauce isn't that difficult since perlbrew with happily pass through any perl building arguments:

perlbrew install perl-5.12.2 -D noextensions=ODBM_File
