This might be the cause, I have that stanza in ~/.bashrc instead And this seems to make a difference. Because ~/.bashrc is sourced each time bash is spawned, but ~/.bash_profile is only sourced under *login* shells, which means you have to do `bash -l` to load perlbrew into ENV And this matters, because without the perlbrew bashrc magic, `perlbrew switch` is a command, while with the perlbrew bashrc magic, `perlbrew` is a shell function. type -t perlbrew function -- Kent
