Perl
====
Enables local [Perl][1] module installation on Mac OS X and defines alises.
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
- `pe` executes a one line program in a loop (`perl -wlne`).
- `pd` looks up Perl documentation (`perldoc`).
### Perlbrew
- `pb` manages Perl environments.
- `pba` lists available Perl versions.
- `pbi` installs a Perl version.
- `pbl` lists installed Perl versions.
- `pbo` temporarily turns off Perlbrew.
- `pbO` turns off Perlbrew.
- `pbs` switches to a Perl version.
- `pbu` uninstalls a Perl version.
- `pbx` temporarily sets the Perl version to use.
Functions
---------
- `prep` provides a grep-like pattern search.
- `psub` provides a sed-like pattern substitution.
