While it is broken now (not working as what documents says), I personally want to completely deprecate the feature to switch to any perl PATH, at least not directly with 'switch' command. 'use' and 'switch' command are re-written so no symlink creation is involved, thus makes perlbrew a bit more multi-user friendly. However this feature can be resorted with "alias" command: perlbrew alias /opt/local/bin/perl the-opt-perl perlbrew use the-opt-perl perlbrew switch the-opt-perl Obviously this is not implement yet, but I believe it should be a good feature to in the future release :)
