perlbrew on OSX
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

sigh
Slightly suspicious double-slash here:
➔ find /Users/c.wright/perl5/ -name Info.pm
/Users/c.wright/perl5//lib/perl5/MP3/Info.pm
Have you sourced?
source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
Yes, sorry, I should have included that:
504 \curl -L http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
505 source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
506 perlbrew available
507 perlbrew install perl-5.20.0
508 perlbrew switch perl-5.20.0
The output of
cpanm -v MP3::Infowould be very helpful in tracking down the problem.➔ cpanm -v MP3::Info

The problem is that you are installing modules into a local::lib, but that directory isn't part of the library search path.
PERL_CPANM_OPT=--local-lib ~/perl5means that things are always installed into ~/perl5, but the corresponding PERL5LIB isn't set up to load from there. With perlbrew, you can either install modules directly into perl's normal paths by dropping the local::lib entirely, or you can use perlbrew's built in local::lib support.perlbrew lib create base; perlbrew switch perl-5.20.0@baseArgh! I set that '--local-lib' so long ago, I'm not even sure when, or why, I did it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to trawl through my output and spot that.
Removed that from the PERL_CPANM_OPT and successfully installed and perldoc'd a new module.
As always ... it was down to me doing something daft.

So it is for all of us :)
