If you prefer to install with cpan, there are two steps:
sudo cpan App::perlbrew
perlbrew init
If it is installed with cpan, the perlbrew executable should be installed as /usr/bin/perlbrew
or /usr/local/bin/perlbrew
. For all users who want to use perlbrew, a prior perlbrew init
needs to be executed.
The default perlbrew root directory is ~/perl5/perlbrew
, which can be changed by setting PERLBREW_ROOT
environment variable before the installation and initialization. For more advanced installation process, please read the perlbrew document.
