Use plenv to pick a Perl version for your application and guarantee that your development environment matches production. Put plenv to work with Carton for painless Perl upgrades and bulletproof deployments.
Like perlbrew, plenv installs perls under your home directory and lets you install modules locally, and allows you to switch to arbitrary perl versions on your shell.
Unlike perlbrew, plenv is implemented in bash, and provides simple shell script wrappers (called "shims") for each perl executable files. It doesn't export any shell functions that switches PATH before running commands.
Unlike perlbrew, plenv allows you to set local perl version per directory, using .perl-version file.
Unlike perlbrew, plenv doesn't provide built-in local::lib integrations, but plenv-contrib implements use and lib commands for a replacement.
Compatibility note: plenv is incompatible with perlbrew. Please make sure to fully uninstall perlbrew and remove any references to it from your shell initialization files before installing plenv.
If you're on Mac OS X, consider installing with Homebrew.
This will get you going with the latest version of plenv and make it easy to fork and contribute any changes back upstream.
-
Check out plenv into
~/.plenv.$ git clone https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv.git ~/.plenv -
Add
~/.plenv/binto your$PATHfor access to theplenvcommand-line utility.$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.plenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Ubuntu note: Modify your
~/.profileinstead of~/.bash_profile.Zsh note: Modify your
~/.zshrcfile instead of~/.bash_profile. -
Add
plenv initto your shell to enable shims and autocompletion.$ echo 'eval "$(plenv init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
Same as in previous step, use
~/.profileon Ubuntu.Zsh note: Use
echo 'eval "$(plenv init - zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc -
Restart your shell as a login shell so the path changes take effect. You can now begin using plenv.
$ exec $SHELL -l
-
Install perl-build, which provides a
plenv installcommand that simplifies the process of installing new Perl versions.$ git clone https://github.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build.git ~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build/ $ plenv install 5.18.0As an alternative, you can download and compile Perl yourself into
~/.plenv/versions/. -
Rebuild the shim executables. You should do this any time you install a new Perl executable (for example, when installing a new Perl version, or when installing a cpanm that provides a command).
$ plenv rehash
If you've installed plenv manually using git, you can upgrade your installation to the cutting-edge version at any time.
$ cd ~/.plenv
$ git pullTo use a specific release of plenv, check out the corresponding tag:
$ cd ~/.plenv
$ git fetch
$ git checkout 2.0.0To install on a system without git, simply download the latest archive
and unpack it to ~/.plenv. You will need to repeat this process to
upgrade your installation.
$ wget -O plenv.tar.gz https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv/archive/master.tar.gz
$ mkdir ~/.plenv
$ tar --directory=~/.plenv --strip-components=1 -zxvf plenv.tar.gzFollow the remaining standard instructions starting at step 2 of Basic GitHub Checkout.
Plugins such as perl-build and plenv-contrib will need to be installed
into ~/.plenv/plugins similarly.
$ wget -O perl-build.tar.gz https://github.com/tokuhirom/Perl-Build/archive/master.tar.gz
$ mkdir -p ~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build
$ tar --directory=~/.plenv/plugins/perl-build --strip-components=1 -zxvf perl-build.tar.gzYou can also install plenv using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X.
$ brew update
$ brew install plenv
$ brew install perl-build
To later update these installs, use upgrade instead of install.
Afterwards you'll still need to add eval "$(plenv init -)" to your
profile as stated in the caveats. You'll only ever have to do this
once.
Skip this section unless you must know what every line in your shell profile is doing.
plenv init is the only command that crosses the line of loading
extra commands into your shell. Here's what plenv init actually does:
-
Sets up your shims path. This is the only requirement for plenv to function properly. You can do this by hand by prepending
~/.plenv/shimsto your$PATH. -
Installs autocompletion. This is entirely optional but pretty useful. Sourcing
~/.plenv/completions/plenv.bashwill set that up. There is also a~/.plenv/completions/plenv.zshfor Zsh users. -
Rehashes shims. From time to time you'll need to rebuild your shim files. Doing this automatically makes sure everything is up to date. You can always run
plenv rehashmanually. -
Installs the sh dispatcher. This bit is also optional, but allows plenv and plugins to change variables in your current shell, making commands like
plenv shellpossible. The sh dispatcher doesn't do anything crazy like overridecdor hack your shell prompt, but if for some reason you needplenvto be a real script rather than a shell function, you can safely skip it.
Run plenv init - for yourself to see exactly what happens under the
hood.
* Perl 5.8.1+
* bash
* curl(If you want to use plenv install-cpanm)
Mount fdescfs on /dev/fd for using bash.
Please add following line to /etc/fstab and restart.
fdesc /dev/fd fdescfs rw 0 0
Like git, the plenv command delegates to subcommands based on its
first argument. The most common subcommands are:
Sets a local application-specific perl version by writing the version
name to a .perl-version file in the current directory. This version
overrides the global version, and can be overridden itself by setting
the PLENV_VERSION environment variable or with the plenv shell
command.
$ plenv local 5.8.2
When run without a version number, plenv local reports the currently
configured local version. You can also unset the local version:
$ plenv local --unset
Previous versions of plenv stored local version specifications in a
file named .plenv-version. For backwards compatibility, plenv will
read a local version specified in a .plenv-version file, but a
.perl-version file in the same directory will take precedence.
Sets the global version of perl to be used in all shells by writing
the version name to the ~/.plenv/version file. This version can be
overridden by an application-specific .perl-version file, or by
setting the plenv_VERSION environment variable.
$ plenv global 5.8.2
The special version name system tells plenv to use the system perl
(detected by searching your $PATH).
When run without a version number, plenv global reports the
currently configured global version.
Sets a shell-specific perl version by setting the plenv_VERSION
environment variable in your shell. This version overrides
application-specific versions and the global version.
$ plenv shell 5.8.2
When run without a version number, plenv shell reports the current
value of plenv_VERSION. You can also unset the shell version:
$ plenv shell --unset
Note that you'll need plenv's shell integration enabled (step 3 of
the installation instructions) in order to use this command. If you
prefer not to use shell integration, you may simply set the
PLENV_VERSION variable yourself:
$ export PLENV_VERSION=5.8.2
Lists all perl versions known to plenv, and shows an asterisk next to the currently active version.
$ plenv versions
system
5.12.0
5.14.0
5.16.1
5.16.2
5.17.11
5.17.7
5.17.8

5.8.5
5.8.9
Displays the currently active perl version, along with information on how it was set.
$ plenv version
5.19.0 (set by /home/tokuhirom/.plenv/version)
Installs shims for all perl executables known to plenv (i.e.,
~/.plenv/versions/*/bin/*). Run this command after you install a new
version of perl, or install a cpanm that provides commands.
$ plenv rehash
Displays the full path to the executable that plenv will invoke when you run the given command.
$ plenv which cpanm
/home/tokuhirom/.plenv/versions/5.19.0/bin/cpanm
Lists all perl versions with the given command installed.
$ plenv whence plackup

5.18.0
5.18.0-RC4
5.19.0

How can I install cpanm?
Try using the following command:
% plenv install-cpanmThis command installs cpanm in the current environment.
If you are installing via a proxy and encounter problems you can set curl arguments via PLENV_INSTALL_CPANM (default is -p):
% PLENV_INSTALL_CPANM="-v" plenv install-cpanm -
How can I install the modules I used in another Perl environment in my new one?
You can use the
migrate-modulessubcommand.% plenv migrate-modules 5.8.2 5.16.2It makes a list of the installed modules in 5.8.2, and installs the newest versions of those modules to the 5.16.2 environment. Note that because the module version won't necessarily be the same between the two versions, there may be changes that affect compatibility, dependencies, or other behaviors your applications depend on.
You can reuse installed modules from a binary-compatible perl version directly without reinstalling. For example, if you have installed lots of modules in 5.18.1 and install a variant of 5.18.1 with dtrace support, you might not want to migrate all those modules.
% plenv install 5.18.1 -Dusedtrace --as 5.18.1-dtrace % plenv shell 5.18.1-dtrace % PERL5LIB=$(PLENV_VERSION=5.18.1 perl -e'print join ":",@INC') perl <command> -
How can I enable -g option without slowing down binary?
Use following command.
% plenv install 5.16.2 -DDEBUGGING=-g -
How can I uninstall plenv ?
Remove plenv configuration lines(
plenv initand PATH) from your shell start up configuration. And removeplenvdirectory as below.% rm -rf `plenv root`
Plese use github issues: http://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv/.

App::perlbrew provides the same features. But plenv provides project local file: __ .perl-version __.
