Description:

I installed this package, but the $HOME/perl5 directory did not get created. As a consequence it would not download nor install any versions of perl5.

I have manually created the folders $HOME/perl5/perlbrew/dists and $HOME/perl5//perlbrew/build. It seems to work...

Now I am scared that there is some other folder that needs creating, and that I have not created.
This task depends upon

1. I have no idea what package you're reporting a bug for.
2. Packages can't touch $HOME.

Sorry, I have now created a new bug report for the perlbrew package.

As I said in #2, packages can't touch $HOME. The program needs to create it if it needs it. I would suggest filing a bug report upstream.

Don't understand what is the problem

perlbrew init
perlbrew download perl-5.14.2

works well. Did you execute perlbrew init ?
Comment by Pierre Masci (mascip) - Thursday, 26 February 2015, 18:00 GMT
Damn, sorry about that. I hadn't done

perlbrew init

Now I have another issue: whenever I do

perlbrew switch, it says "A subshell is launched with perl....", instead of switching: perlbrew list indicated that I have not "selected" a version of perl for regular use.

I am aware that this is not related to the "bug" (my mistake) at hand.

did you run source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc after perlbrew init?
Comment by Pierre Masci (mascip) - Thursday, 26 February 2015, 18:11 GMT
Done now. I had commented it in my .bashrc, because it caused a bug before I had done perlbrew init. So silly of me. Thank you!
