Re: How can I track down why perl 5.34.0 will install on one user account on macos with perlbrew and not another?

You say Perl installs when logged in on one account but fails when logged in on another. The code you exhibit forks, and the parent waits while the child execs command echo foo. It looks like on the failing account this command says 'hi'.

When you log in to the failing account and issue the command type echo, what do you get?

OMG, I had an `echo` script in ~/bin. $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar"; $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF; Click here if you love Perl Monks	[reply] [d/l]

Well, maybe something valuable can come out of this. The build log did catch that `echo` was not the correct one. It said so right in the log. But it's way at the top of the build log and very easy to miss. Maybe instead, at the bottom of the build log in big letters: "YOU'RE AN IDIOT!" $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar"; $nysus = $PM .

Yeah, that seemed weird to me, too. I get `echo is a shell builtin`. I'm using zsh. $PM = "Perl Monk's"; $MCF = "Most Clueless ~~Friar~~ ~~Abbot~~ ~~Bishop~~ ~~Pontiff~~ ~~Deacon~~ ~~Curate~~ ~~Priest~~ Vicar"; $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF; Click here if you love Perl Monks	[reply]
