hi, try perlbrew lib.

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Thanks for the tip but I couldn't figure out how to use it, exactly. So I create a new lib with perlbrew lib create blah and then I switch to it but then what do I do from there?

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      OK, think I see now. When you switch to new lib, it falls back to the lib for the installed version of perl in ~/perl5 if the module is not yet installed in the new lib. I think this might be a great solution. Glad I asked the question.

      $PM = "Perl Monk's";
      $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest Vicar";
      $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
