Hi All,

My question in short is,

is it possible to install perlbrew without a /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl?

The longer story here,

I have a pfsense box that I would like to use perl with a non root user. So perlbrew seems to be a logical solution. I tried to \fetch -o- http://install.perlbrew.pl | sh and got the following error message  Need /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl to use sh. On the other hand, there are two packages in the system, squid and squid-guard, actually brought their own perl and friends. For example, 

 [support@example.com]/home/support/download: file /usr/pbi/squid-amd6
+4/local/bin/perl
/usr/pbi/squid-amd64/local/bin/perl: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64
+, version 1 (FreeBSD), dynamically linked, interpreter /libexec/ld-el
+f.so.1, for FreeBSD 10.1, stripped

[download]

So I would like to know if it is possible to make use them for one time bootstrap of perlbrew?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Regards,

David.
