I tend to stick to Debian packages as my primary choice, resorting
to off-distribution packages when needed (e.g. not packaged for
Debian, or I /need/ a newer version). Of course it takes some foresight
to guess in advance whether you expect such a situation in the
future.

Rationale: they mesh better with the flow of system updates/upgrades.

I've found Perl packaging in Debian outstanding. The Debian Perl
packaging team does a damn good job indeed.
