in reply to How do you run Perl on _your_ system?

G'day silent11,

I have a variety of installations:

Home - Cygwin (on Win10) - Perlbrew
$ perlbrew list * perl-5.36.0 perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0 $ perl -v This is perl 5, version 36, subversion 0 (v5.36.0) built for cygwin-th +read-multi
$work - openSUSE - zypper
$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-li +nux-thread-multi
$work - Debian - apt
$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for x86_64-li +nux-gnu-thread-multi (with 47 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

For my home setup, I've used Perlbrew for a very long time (>10 years, I expect). I've had my current machine for 3-4 years. Prior to that I had a Mac Pro (for ~9 years) and used Perlbrew on that also. I tend to get each Perl (stable) version when released. I do a full install of all my main modules on each version using cpan.

For $work, I'm somewhat constrained with what's available and requirements to align with what others are using. I do all module installations with the package manager (indicated above).
