Re^2: Perl version issue?

Thanks. I went to check my ~/.bash_profile and saw that I already had a line there for perlbrew:

source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc

And I have the perlbrew directory containing perl v5 (which looks to be perl version 5.15):

/Users/trey/perl5/perlbrew

'perl -v' shows version 5.18. So would the 'recommended' fix here be to run 'perl install perl-5.20.1' followed by 'perl switch 5.20.1' to install and then use the latest version?

It would appear that my ~/.bash_profle would remain unchanged

Yes, except that's `perlbrew install ...` and `perlbrew switch ...`. You have to make sure you still have perlbrew after the upgrade to Yosemite, otherwise re-install it. The command `perlbrew list` should show you which perls are installed under perlbrew, and just `perlbrew` by itself shows a help screen when it's installed.	[reply]

Thanks. I ran the commands above to install the latest stable version of perl and now 'perl -v' shows: `$ perl -v This is perl 5, version 20, subversion 1 (v5.20.1) built for darwin-2l +evel` [download] However, when I still see the following when I attempt to use t-prot with mutt to view a message: 'Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Locale::gettext module) (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.12 /Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.18 /Network/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.18 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.18.2 /System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.18 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.18 .) at /usr/local/bin/t-prot line 1147. Looks as though it's still looking at perl version 5.18.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The Perl you run does not seem to be the Perl you want. You need to find out which Perl version `t-prot` invokes, and how. A most likely candidate is to look at the first line of `t-prot`. If it starts with something like `#!/System/bin/perl` (or whatever OSX uses as path names), you could try to change that to point to the Perl you want to use. I recommend making a backup first.
