Thanks for this new version. As usual, non-trivial patches should have
a non-empty commit log. But see some comments below.

So here's you're explaining how to install perl-5.22 using perlbrew,
only when the host perl version is not sufficient. This looks good.

However, I don't understand why the help text has this information at
the beginning of it. It should IMO only be displayed when the host perl
version doesn't match the target perl version. I'm running a system
with host perl 5.22, and the help text of scancpan is somewhat
confusing. Why is it talking to be about using curl and perlbrew in the
"Usage:" section ?

Could you fix this and send an updated version? Thanks!

Usage:
    curl -kL http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash

    perlbrew install perl-5.22.2

    supports/scripts/scancpan [options] [distname ...]

     Options:
       -help
       -man
       -quiet
       -force
       -target/-notarget
       -host/-nohost
       -recommend
       -test

Options:
    -help   Prints a brief help message and exits.

    -man    Prints the manual page and exits.

    -quiet  Executes without output

    -force  Forces the overwriting of existing files.

    -target/-notarget
            Switches package generation for the target variant (the default
            is "-target").

    -host/-nohost
            Switches package generation for the host variant (the default is
            "-nohost").

    -recommend
            Adds *recommended* dependencies.

    -test   Adds dependencies for test.
