Hi

I'm using an Ubuntu VM to test some stuff in different perlversions plus module-versions and already installed perlbrew succesfully.

Unfortunately it seems that I installed and (sudo) used cpanminus before.

which cpanm shows /usr/bin/cpanm and I already renamed and recreated .cpanm because it belonged to root.

Using this instance from cpanm has strange side effects, looks like the old path from the system Perl where hardcoded.

So whats the best way to resolve this?

Yeah I know, probably I shouldn't use cpanm with System Perl in the future... but ... I didn't expect this VM to be used that long.

So what's the canonical way to combine cpanminus with perlbrew?

update

oops ... ((shame-oticon))

Found:

apparently I'm too colorblind to read https://perlbrew.pl/Perlbrew-and-Friends.html properly, already the second phrase says:

> Also when you read the perlbrew usage documentation, there is a command install-cpanm that installs a standalone executable cpanm to to the same bin directory.

I'll try later, but i think the issue is resolved now ...

update

works as described! ++
