Re^2: "Installed" Perl 5.34 , sort of

just run the script; switch version; run the script again.

First of all, you should be using use (changes that shell only), not switch (changes all subsequently-created shells).

But you don't even need to use use.

"$PERLBREW_ROOT"/perls/5.32t/bin/perl ...

Update: Clarified which shells switch affects.

"... you should be using `use` (changes that shell only), ..." `use` is an option; not a requirement. Fix with: `s/should be using/can also use/` (or similar). "... not `switch` (changes all shells)." That's incorrect. Fix with: `s/changes all shells/changes subsequent shells/` (or similar). Below, I show starting two shells both using 5.34 — I change to 5.32 in the second shell; the first shell remains at 5.34; after that I start a third shell which uses 5.32. `$ # Shell A $ perlbrew list * perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0 $ # perlbrew switch in Shell B $ perlbrew list * perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0` [download] `$ # Shell B $ perlbrew list * perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0 $ perlbrew switch perl-5.32.0 $ perlbrew list perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 * perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0` [download] `$ # Shell C $ perlbrew list perl-5.34.0 perl-5.33.5 * perl-5.32.0 perl-5.30.0` [download] — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

use is an option; not a requirement. Well yeah. And I was saying it's the one that should have been used here. Fix with: s/changes all shells/changes subsequent shells/ (or similar) Yeah, since .bashrc is only executed on startup. I'll clarify.	[reply]
