I’ve tried and failed so many times to use perlbrew on OSX.

I’ll admit that I haven’t started a full-on investigation, but this is really quite frustrating and confusing:

➔ perlbrew install perl-5.20.0
Fetching perl 5.20.0 as /Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.20.0.tar.bz2
Download http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.20.0.tar.bz2 to /Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.20.0.tar.bz2
Installing /Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.20.0 into ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another shell to track the status:

  tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.20.0.log

perl-5.20.0 is successfully installed.

➔ perlbrew switch perl-5.20.0
➔ which perl
/Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.20.0/bin/perl

➔ perlbrew install-cpanm

cpanm is installed to

    /Users/c.wright/perl5/perlbrew/bin/cpanm
