For me it's system packages and PYTHON_PATH. No pip, never, otherwise you'll get bullshit binaries with sometimes no source code at all.

I think that one might be the best of the scripting languages. At least Perl programs are typically C-like in terms of amount of dependencies and packaging metadata has been JSON (so no code to execute) for so long your distro probably has a good package generator which can fetch CPAN in case of a missing dependency.
And it also means using the cpan command itself to fetch dependencies is safe (tarballs aren't even unpacked), unlike with pip.
