I've been working on this for a couple of hours and getting nowhere. I want to add two different paths to PERL5LIB. Here's what I have right now: 

case "$PERL5LIB:" in
        *"/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl:"*) :;;
        *) PERL5LIB="/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl:$PERL5LIB";;
esac
export PERL5LIB

case "$PERL5LIB:" in
        *"/Users/me/perl/perl_lib:"*) :;;
        *) PERL5LIB="/Users/me/perl/perl_lib:$PERL5LIB";;
esac
export PERL5LIB

When I do perl -V, it looks good: 

    /Users/me/perl/perl_lib
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/site_perl/5.24.4/da
+rwin-2level
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/site_perl/5.24.4
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/5.24.4/darwin-2leve
+l
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/5.24.4
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/site_perl/5.24.1/da
+rwin-2level
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/site_perl/5.24.1
    /Users/me/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/lib/site_perl
   .

However, when I try to run a command, I get this: Cannot load config file: couldn't open /Users/me/perl/perl_lib:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/

The directories somehow got concatenated together. I don't know much about bash scripting or setting ENV variables. Any tips are appreciated. Thanks

Update: I have perlbrew installed which I think might be part of the problem.
