perlbrew is a tool to manage multiple Perl installations in your $HOME directory. Created by Gugod (εεΊ·ζ°), perlbrew lets you keep the system Perl untouched while installing arbitrary versions of Perl per project, switching between them with a single command.
It is the standard solution for developers who need to test against multiple Perl versions, run multiple production projects with different requirements, or sandbox CPAN module installs.
Manage multiple Perl installations in your home directory. Like rbenv/pyenv, but for Perl.
β¨ Features
