Perl ==== Enables local [Perl][1] module installation on Mac OS X and defines aliases. Local Module Installation ------------------------- Perl versions older than 5.14 do not support the local installation of Perl modules natively. This module allows for local installation of Perl modules on Mac OS X in *~/Library/Perl/5.12* by altering the environment. ### Usage For Perl versions older than 5.14, install *local::lib*. curl -L -C - -O http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AP/APEIRON/local-lib-1.008004.tar.gz tar xvf local-lib-1.008004.tar.gz cd local-lib-1.008004 perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=$HOME/Library/Perl/5.12 make && make test && make install Install *cpanminus*: curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --self-upgrade Perlbrew -------- An alternative to the above is to use [Perlbrew][2], which allows for the management of multiple, isolated Perl installations in the home directory. Aliases ------- ### General - `pl` is short for `perl`. - `pld` looks up Perl documentation (`perldoc`). - `ple` executes a one line program in a loop (`perl -wlne`). ### Perlbrew - `plb` manages Perl environments. - `plba` lists available Perl versions. - `plbi` installs a Perl version. - `plbl` lists installed Perl versions. - `plbo` temporarily turns off Perlbrew. - `plbO` turns off Perlbrew. - `plbs` switches to a Perl version. - `plbu` uninstalls a Perl version. - `plbx` temporarily sets the Perl version to use.
