Re: Compile perl with custom compiler path, perlbrew solution preferred

When doing this from vanilla source via hand you'd just pass -Dcc=/usr/local/gcc82/bin/gcc yadda yadda yadda. It looks like (cribbing from this SO answer) there's an PERLBREW_CONFIGURE_FLAGS environment variable you could add those settings to when you run perlbrew and that might do it.

thank you. It worked as expected. It was prompting me to answer many questions and did not use the sane defaults as usual, I guess the presence of the FLAGS triggers this behaviour. I had to add `-d` to the FLAGS. And because another such perl existed, I also had to give it a different name: `PERLBREW_CONFIGURE_FLAGS='-d -Dcc=/usr/local/gcc82/bin/gcc' perlbrew i +nstall 5.38.2 --as 5.38.2.gcc82` [download] And I can confirm that any C code embedded via Inline::C is compiled with the expected compiler.
