Subject:

Switch can't find newly create lib

I'm trying out the lib feature of perlbrew but can't seem to get perlbrew to actually use it. ]$ perlbrew --version /home/mpeters/perl5/perlbrew/bin/perlbrew - App::perlbrew/0.36 ]$ perlbrew lib create clean lib 'perl-5.8.8@clean' is created. ]$ perlbrew list perl-5.10.0 perl-5.10.1 perl-5.12.0 perl-5.12.1 perl-5.12.3 perl-5.12.4 perl-5.14.0 perl-5.14.1 perl-5.14.2 perl-5.15.0 perl-5.6.2 * perl-5.8.8 perl-5.8.8@clean perl-5.8.9 ]$ perlbrew switch perl-5.8.8@clean perl-5.8.8@clean is not installed So it's clearly added because list picks it up, but neither switch nor use can find it.

Huh. Apparently I just hit this on OS X 10.6.8? $ perlbrew version /opt/perl/bin/perlbrew - App::perlbrew/0.45 $ perlbrew lib create foo lib 'perl-5.16.0@foo' is created. $ perlbrew list * perl-5.16.0 perl-5.16.0@foo $ perlbrew use 'perl-5.16.0@foo' perl-5.16.0@foo is not installed $ perlbrew switch 'perl-5.16.0@foo' perl-5.16.0@foo is not installed

Aha!! It appears that some ancient perlbrew install(s) were confusing the hell out of ... something. I nuked all old perlbrews with extreme prejudice, installed a single clean one at ~/perl5/perlbrew, and everything looks great now. :D

Why would you say that ? The steps you provided earlier looks OK and it should've worked.
