You should set the PERLBREW_ROOT before doing init. Sorry I should
have mentioned it. rm -rf perl5 and that line from .bashrc.

Oh I didn't know you had perl 5.8 ... App::perlbrew would be a

OMG! I wish it were simple && non-intrusive. ;)

perlbrew init
This command presumptuously created a perl5/perlbrew/* sub-dirs in my
$HOME! IPERLBREW_ROO moved it to ~/.perlbrew/ instead then had to
export
to the latter.
perlbrew install perl-5.12.1 -D=useithreads

Installing perl-5.12.1 into /home/pip/.perlbrew/perls/perl-5.12.1
This could take a while. You can run the following command on another
shell to track the status:
tail -f /home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log
(cd /home/pip/.perlbrew/build; tar xzf
/home/pip/.perlbrew/dists/perl-5.12.1.tar.gz;cd
/home/pip/.perlbrew/build/perl-5.12.1;rm -f config.sh Policy.sh;sh
Configure -de -Dprefix=/home/pip/.perlbrew/perls/perl-5.12.1
-Duseithreads;make;make test && make install) >>
'/home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log' 2>&1
Installing perl-5.12.1 failed. See /home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log to
see why.
If you want to force install the distribution, try:
perlbrew --force install perl

perlbrew switch perl-5.12.1
cpan/pip the stuff again.
You can switch back to old perl with:
perlswitch /usr/bin/perlbrew
