Well, you must install perlbrew first. What does your new $PATH look like? `echo $PATH` [download] Perl 6 - second systems done right	[reply] [d/l]

If your system is anything like mine, there's a perl in /usr/bin/, which comes before /home/pats/localperl/bin. As I wrote before: You have to add $home/localperl/bin to your PATH environment variable before the path in which your current Perl is. (this time with emphasis).

Make sure that the new perl comes before the old one in the path. Also, your shell may have cached the location of perl and so not "see" the old one even though the $PATH has changed. You can clear that cache with the `hash` command in bash, and you can see which perl executable comes first in the path with `which perl`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
