This machine (freebsd 9.2) has a gcc-4.8 package installed,additionally to the system's gcc.
$ gcc48 -v

gcc version 4.8.4 (FreeBSD Ports Collection)
@eserte How can we tell your system to use the gcc48 compiler, without changing RPerl for everyone else?
@eserte One or more of your FreeBSD machines on CPAN Testers has an old version of GCC v4.2, and RPerl requires GCC v4.7 or newer.
gccversion='4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]'

My goal is to reach 100% CPAN testers coverage.
Is it better for you to upgrade the GCC yourself, or is it better for me to create Alien::gcc which will rebuild a new GCC from source (which will add extra runtime)?
