Perl certainly has a similar spread of problems and solutions, some of which clearly were inspired by python and ruby solutions. local::lib, Carton, perlbrew/plenv are all recommended immediately to solve these problems, but they are still solutions one has to go looking for, it's easy to first fall into problematic setups by not using them (at least all modern CPAN clients will set up a local::lib by default now).
