silent11 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

First some background; I run Manjaro Linux at home. I don't do much perl development lately, but today I got an idea to find a new module on cpan recents and code something with it.

Well, the module install didn't go so well. cpan complained with Magic.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xcd00080, needed 0xeb00080)

I use local::lib, and have since I learned about it in this perl advent post

I'm currently updating all modules now and I'm seeing a slew of mismatch errors stream across the screen. Does this "mismatch" happen because Manjaro is managing my system perl, and because I don't keep my locallibs up to date, there are now inconsistencies between my system perl and the version of perl some of these modules were installed against?

Monks on operating systems with rolling updates, how are you keeping your perl environments clean, consistent and up to date? And is your primary perl a) the system perl with local::lib, b) perlbrew, c) a custom/standalone perl install in your $HOME or d) something else?

Thanks.
