Can you test again with these steps: cd /tmp wget http://xrl.us/perlbrew chmod +x ./perlbrew ./perlbrew exec perl -e 'print "Hello from $]\n"' Notice that the last step runs the downloaded perlbrew executable. If that output looks right to you, I suggest you do an upgrade using the just downloaded perlbrew executable. ./perlbrew install If you prefer upgrading from CPAN, make sure your users runs `perlbrew init` after-wise.

That fixed it on one of the machines, I'll test on the others as soon as I can. Thanks for your help.

FYI, although part of perlbrew rely on bash / csh, the `exec` command does not. What you were experiencing should be an `exec` -specific bug that was introduced recently (around 0.20 or so). Thanks for your help to improve perlbrew!
