The hint I see is that it can't find perlbrew, and if your perlbrew is
installed in ~/perl5/perlbrew/bin/ then that ought to be the fatpacked
version.
So either you weren't running the fatpacked version or something has
come unglued and is stomping on your PATH.
David, thanks for that diagnosis.
You are correct in that I apparently no longer had the "fatpacked"
version of perlbrew in ~/perl5/perlbrew/bin. Running 'ls' there showed
only 'patchperl'. In my attempts to correct this problem yesterday, I
was saying "cpanm App::perlbrew", which apparently wasn't sufficient.
So today I went back to App::perlbrew's CPAN page and issued:
curl -kL http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash
That put "perlbrew" into the directory named. In my .bashrc I then
uncommented the "source" line. I re-sourced ~/.bashrc. "perlbrew use"
now switches perl executables in the same shell, without opening a
sub-shell. So, so far it appears everything is DWIMming.
Thank you very much.
