Re^4: App::perlbrew - Compiling Perl with thread support

Thanks for the update.

The INSTALL file on CPAN is also easier to read as a web link as it's in HTML format.

I found some documentation for PERL_SUB_DEPTH_WARN in perldiag and perl5101delta. The default setting of 100 is fine for me; I can always use no warnings 'recursion'; on the rare occasions where I might exceed this.

Thanks also for the script: I can see the rationale behind your naming convention.

I just learned that `perlbrew use XXX` will look for an install named `perl-XXX` if it doesn't find one named `XXX`, so omitting the leading `perl-` in the name isn't critical. (It's surely the same thing for `perlbrew switch`.)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I had a very brief look at the `App::perlbrew` code. The `perl-` prefix relates to CPAN URLs, e.g. `http://search.cpan.org/dist/perl-5.14.2/`. I haven't dug any deeper than this but probably will do next week: there's still a few outstanding question marks. I've successfully compiled 5.14.2 with threads and tested my frequently used apps. I skipped the `alias` step: it isn't strictly necessary and I want to find out a bit more about it anyway (e.g. I still don't know what the `-f` option does). Thanks again for all your help with this. -- Ken	[reply] [d/l] [select]
