"I posted that as an example of things generally going wrong, rather than as a specific glitch to overcome."

This is, cautiously said: a "funny approach". Isn't PM (partly) about "overcoming glitches"?

When i discovered perlbrew, i thought this is heaven-sent. But i'm skeptical about "this is the promised land" stuff.

So i installed it on different boxes, played around with it, tried to break it, did some insane things.

But it didn't break. It worked.

So i recommended it for a box that is a good part of my job. The box is for monitoring more than 120 hosts with more than 1000 services.

Setup and testing lasted about 3 month. And many people are relying on this box. And i recommended the tool on PM.

So, if someone comes and says: "That stuff you recommend doesn't work as expected!" the bells ring.

I try to understand why and how to find a solution.

If i where you (assuming you are still interested in using perlbrew) i would throw away that whole stuff and start over again with a fresh setup, doing it exactly as described in the docs.

If you can reproduce the issue, contact the author. I'm shure you get help - many rely upon perlbrew.

Best regards, Karl

P.S.: Ever had a broken Perl? No? So you are lucky. I had it one time on a Mac OS X server.

I fired up cpan and went for lunch or so.

When i was back, i had another Perl installed, tons of modules uninstalled and tons of modules new installed.

The box was unuseable - and it was not for testing purposes.
