Try to change the version of my Perl but not change. I have Perl v5.36.1, I tried to change Perl to Perl v5.10.0 but I didn't get the desired effect.

Well, no. That one didn't work. I had to be specific about where
CGI::Carp was installed to get it to work:
use lib '/home/user/.cpanm/work/1512448551.26554/CGI-4.38/lib';

I've read about those, but I'd rather not jerry rig this install just
to get it to work. I've been using perlbrew on my Mac (with 5 different perls)
for years without incident, so that's why I'm at a loss as to what's happening
on this VPS. Maybe I should just cut my losses, delete everything, and start
over. I just hate doing that after spending so much time on something. It's
like admitting defeat and giving up. ;)
I just thought to compare the install on my Mac with the one on the VPS
and the binaries of perlbrew are exactly the same, but the binaries for
patchperl and cpanm are wildly different from each other. Are these customized
during installation for the platform that running? If not, would it be safe to
copy my known good copies over to the server (Mac vs Linux)?

That's what I thought. Shouldn't "cpanm install Module::Name" do that on it's own? There's only one perl install and one alias, and the alias is selected. Running "perl -v" returns version 5.26.1 so how can I get perlbrew set to install in the current installation?

I found a .cpanm directory in /home/user where all the modules are
being installed. Could that have anything to do with it? I tried adding that
directory with "use lib" but I still get the 500 error.

You have to make sure that the cron job has the right path. Usually it can be as easy as calling a wrapper script that sets up the correct environment.

After moving to a VPS, I'm finally able to use perlbrew to use the latest perl, but it's not working the same as it does on my Mac.

Test one: does the file actually exist.

If the process can't see the file, then there will be a problem. Test three: Is there config right?

Problem with perlbrew and LiteSpeed
I'm hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right
direction. I'm moving my site to a VPS to be able to use a more modern version
of Perl, but I've run into a problem.
I installed perlbrew along with Perl 5.26.1. That went smoothly.
However, when I try to run even a small test script in a browser, the server
returns this:
lscgid: execve():/home/user/www/cgi-bin/test.pl: No such file or directory
The perlbrew installation on my Mac works perfectly, but on this *nix
server, it doesn't**. The VPS is using LiteSpeed, but I've been told it's a
drop-in replacement for Apache, so everything *should* work the same as before.
Do I need to do something more than just putting the perlbrew perl path
in the shebang line?
Has anyone seen anything like this before? I'm working with my web
host on this, but so far they don't seem to know what's going on, so I thought
I'd ask here just in case.
Thanks,
Frank

RE: Perlbrew and Apache2::Request
I looked at INSTALL file and it said to './configure --with-apache2-apxs=/path/to/apache2/bin/apxs'. Well, if you are a non-admin user trying to write/modify to apxs or those other files that might be owned by root, then you might have issues. My two cents.

That way, you don't interfere with any previously-installed Perl versions. If perlbrew doesn't end up working for you, you can uninstall it and fall back to your older versions. One drawback is that you have to install optional modules for each version separately. You also have to pay attention to which version you are using, or you might end up using the wrong one (although Perl developers have done a pretty good job of backwards compatibility, so that if you do end up using a version unexpectedly, it will either work OK or complain immediately that your Perl program is not compatible.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

I am not familiar with iTerm, but Google reveals that it is an
open source terminal emulator for OS X. So what probably matters
here is the shell that it is running (I would assume it would be
the same shell as your other terminal emulator program, but
perhaps not..). Is it possible that it's not running bash, and
therefore your .bash_profile is not being sourced, and therefore
the Perlbrew environment is not being set up?
What if you try sourcing the perlbrew bashrc yourself directly
from iTerm:
source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
Does that execute without errors? Does perlbrew work then?
As an aside, I have found that recent versions of bash (in
GNU/Linux) seem to cache the PATH and not notice changes to it
right away (albeit, you said you were upgrading Perlbrew so I
don't think it would have changed much, but I digress). You can
clear that cache with `hash -r' from the affected shell. You can
also just start a new shell. I doubt this is applicable to your
situation, but you never know... :)

Try changing that line to:

or just go back to what you had before:

Problem Installing perlbrew
I'm hoping someone can help me. I upgraded perlbrew by re-installing
it via the curl method and now I can't use it anymore. I'm getting the error
"-bash: perlbrew: command not found".
Here's what the installation report showed:
----
## Installing perlbrew
perlbrew is installed: "/Users/mbo/perl5/perlbrew";/bin/perlbrew
perlbrew root ("/Users/mbo/perl5/perlbrew";) is initialized.
Append the following piece of code to the end of your ~/.bash_profile and start
a
new shell, perlbrew should be up and fully functional from there:
source "/Users/mbo/perl5/perlbrew";/etc/bashrc
Simply run `perlbrew` for usage details.
Happy brewing!
## Installing patchperl
## Done.
In my .bash_profile, I previously had entered "source
~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc". So I changed it to what it says above "source
"/Users/mbo/perl5/perlbrew";/etc/bashrc" but that caused other problems in my
terminal, such as:
Last login: Tue Mar 19 10:29:29 on ttys001
-bash: source: /Users/mbo/perl5/perlbrew: is a directory
-bash: /etc/bashrc: Permission denied
The first time I installed it, there were no problems, and now this.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you,
Angela

Usually means you just don't have that module ("Pod::Usage") installed. You
want to to tell us what platform/OS you're on (eg windows XP or 7 and
ActiveState or Strawberry or Ubuntu and ver. 5.12) but you probably need to add
that and try again.
Often these installs will have an option to install any missing modules as part

Error Message on Perlbrew Install
Hello, I don't know if I should ask this here. I'm having trouble installing Perlbrew. I am getting the error message: "can't locate Pod/Usage.pm in @INC (@INC contains: CODE(0xa031ea8) /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys /usr/ lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/msys /usr/lib/perl5/ site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /loader/0xa031ea8/App/ perlbrew.pm line 232." I have been trying to find an answer and I saw one that his problem was that the file was called pod instead of Pod. (S)He just renamed the file. How do I do that? Or is there another way to fix this? Or am I in the wrong place completely? Any help would be very much appreciated.

If somebody knows where it keeps the configuration settings the shell which is used by cron, then she or he might ask Perlbrew's author to also make changes in that configuration file also (if there is one), and then the changes will also work in cron jobs without needing to manually set the PERL5LIB and the PATH there.

Re: Using perlbrew to change Perl version for scripts
I get what Marc is wanting, and I see the convenience of it. Perlbrew allows you to install different versions of perl so you can test your code with them. I'd be handy to be able to test a batch of scripts without having to change the shebang line in each one.

All I'm after is the ability to use a shebang line that will always point to the currently selected version of Perl that I've chosen by the perlbrew switch command. If I use #!/usr/bin/env perl, my system Perl gets used - no matter what perlbrew is set to. If I hard-code a perlbrew installed version of Perl, then that particular version gets used. I'd like to be able to use some generic shebang line, something like #!~/perl5/perlbrew/bin/current, and then that script would use the currently selected version of Perl.

Thanks, Marc I don't know anything inside perlbrew that will help, but you could do this: sudo ln -s /Users/marc/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.16.0/bin/perl /usr/local//bin/perl Then change your shebangs to: #!/usr/local/bin/perl This has the advantage of not having to run your profile to get the correct version of perl and when you upgrade, you just have to change the symlink to upgrade all your scripts. -- Just my 0.0002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding. _Perl links_ official site : http://www.perl.org/ beginners' help : http://learn.perl.org/faq/beginners.html advance help: http://perlmonks.org/ documentation : http://perldoc.perl.org/ news: http://perlsphere.net/ repository : http://www.cpan.org/ blog: http://blogs.perl.org/ regional groups : http://www.pm.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

It took about 2 seconds to upgrade - it's the searching that can take forever! =;) Marc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/

Updating Perlbrew
Does anyone know how to update Perlbrew to the latest version? I've searched their site but I haven't found updating instructions (could be my Google fu if off today =:\ ). Are you supposed to just overwrite the previous version instead of updating?
