perlbrew list command improvements

The output of perlbrew list is slightly improved. A version number is displayed for those installations which cannot be told the version numbers from their names. For example:

> perlbrew list
* perl-5.12.3
  perl-5.13.10
  perl-5.14.0-RC2
  perl-blead (5.14.0)
  perl-v5.14.0-RC1-8-g2cf7ccf
  /usr/bin/perl (5.10.0)

The version number is accquired from perl -e 'print $]', therefore it does not contain any RC number or git commit sha1.

Website Update mechanism

For those who are interested in publishing contents to http://perlbrew.pl/, here's how:

1. Edit the content of wiki: https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/wiki
   • Make sure you use "markdown" syntax.
   • If you use git access, the filename extension has to be .md
2. poke @gugod on github or twitter for your updates

To preview it, do the following

echo Text::Markdown Text::Xslate IO::All | cpanm
git clone git://github.com/gugod/www.perlbrew.pl.git
cd www.perlbrew.pl
make
open public/YOUR-PAGE-NAME.html

The command make should pull the latest wiki content and start generating HTML files from there. HTML files are generated under public/ with matching file names, except the .md extension is replaced with .html. For example, these two are matching pages:

• https://github.com/gugod/App-perlbrew/wiki/Reinstall-All-Modules-On-New-Perl
• http://www.perlbrew.pl/Reinstall-All-Modules-On-New-Perl.html

Notice the homepage is named index.md but not Home.md, which is the landing page for Github wiki.
