Hey everyone,

I'm a total noob with PERL so apologies in advance for any silly questions/general noobiness.

I was trying to install a piece of software and it was asking me to update to the latest version of PERL so I tried that, only to now have screwed up my terminal entirely. I'm a QA so occasionally I make some file changes and commits, which aren't saving at the moment due to my screw up so I desperately need help.

I use a MacBookPro with macOS Mojave 10.14.6 installed. When I open a new terminal, I get the error -bash: /Users/win/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc: No such file or directory Reading info online, I've now tried to reinstall PERL by running \curl -L https://install.perlbrew.pl | bash It outputs that it's installed and that I need to run source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc/ When I run this, I get back ERROR: The installation "perl-5.28.0" is unknown

I've tried to navigate to the folder and delete the perl 5.28.0 folder but that doesn't make a difference. Any advice would be much much appreciated, thank you!
