perlbrew generates a bashrc file that you have to source in your .bashrc.
Not using double brackets and the bash builtin 'source' enables to use
this file with dash too.

The debian init script policy says that every file has to start with
#!/bin/sh which is a symlink to dash so dash compat would enable writing
init scripts that start apps requiring perlbrew.
