Well, you must install perlbrew first. What does your new $PATH look like?

echo $PATH

    sorry that should read

    [root@Gandalf ~]# $PATH bash: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/usr/local/ +bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/pats/bin:/home/pats/localperl/ +bin: No such file or directory

      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).
