Why use perlbrew when you can use cpan/cpanm/cpanp directly?

Because the default perl usually comes with the system (at least on Unix systems). And quite often, the system depends on that perl version and configuration. Slackware is a rare exception: It comes with a quite recent perl version, but it does not depend on Perl. For other Linux distributions and other Unix systems, you better use the package manager (rpm, apt, whatever - RTFM) to install perl modules from system packages instead of installing from CPAN. If you want to use the latest versions of some perl module, better install an independent perl, e.g. using perlbrew or by compiling perl manually. This way, modules "too new" for the system won't interfere with the system perl.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
