+**This image does not contain the common packages contained in the default tag and only contains the minimal packages needed to run perl. Unless you are working in an environment where only the perl image will be deployed and you have space constraints, we highly recommend using the default image of this repository.**

 #### Coexisting with Debian's /usr/bin/perl

 The perl binary built for this image is installed in /usr/local/bin/perl, along with other standard tools in the Perl distribution such as prove and perldoc, as well as cpanm for installing CPAN modules. Containers running this image will also have their PATH enviroment set like /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin to ensure that this perl binary will be found first in normal usage.
