Re^2: Using Perlbrew macOS impossible to install distributions

Mmh, if the Op's ENV looks like this...

karls-mac-mini:~ karl$ env | grep PERLBREW 
PERLBREW_VERSION=0.58
PERLBREW_PERL=perl-5.18.0
PERLBREW_BASHRC_VERSION=0.58
PERLBREW_ROOT=/Users/karl/perl5/perlbrew
PERLBREW_HOME=/Users/karl/.perlbrew
PERLBREW_MANPATH=/Users/karl/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.18.0/man
PERLBREW_PATH=/Users/karl/perl5/perlbrew/bin:/Users/karl/perl5/perlbre
+w/perls/
[download]

...everything should be OK with perlbrew, right? Very strange...

Best regards, Karl

G'day Karl, I read what you've written several times but the point you're trying to make eludes me. I was particularly stumped by your final words: "Very strange...". The OP shouldn't need to manually source '`~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc`' in order to use Perlbrew. Doing this will set up environment variables such as you've shown, but only in the current shell. It's a tedious task that's easy to forget and therefore error-prone: hence my suggestion to set up something similar to my '`.bash_profile`' and '`.bashrc`'. I set all this up for myself years ago and haven't needed to change anything since. While I don't remember specifics, I do recall all instructions came from Perlbrew documentation: I didn't need to seek out secret incantations in dark corners of the Internet. For what it's worth, except for some obvious and expected differences (e.g. `s/karl/ken/`), my environment looks very similar to yours. — Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]

"I set all this up for myself years ago and haven't needed to change anything since" Like me. It was a "Fire And Forget" task. My `.bashrc` is empty. My `.bash_profile`: `karls-mac-mini:~ karl$ cat .bash_profile source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)` [download] My perlbrew `bashrc`: Read more... (4 kB) I did nothing related to perlbrew "by hand".
