Perl

Enables local Perl 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, 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.

Authors

The authors of this module should be contacted via the issue tracker.
