Unable to switch to new perl installation #761

Open mvsjes2 opened 2 years ago

mvsjes2 commented 2 years ago

I installed perl-5.37.3 on Ubuntu 20.04.4 and everything looked like it worked fine. The last couple of messages I got from the log file were:

/home/robin/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.37.3/man/man1/zipdetails.1
##### Brew Finished #####

I see the directory created properly:

ll ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls

drwxr-xr-x 5 robin robin 4096 Aug 31 14:48 perl-5.37.3/

However, perlbrew list doesn't show it:

perlbrew list
  perl-5.34.0                               
  perl-5.32.1                               
  perl-5.30.3                               
  perl-5.28.3

If I try to use it I get: $ perlbrew use perl-5.37.3 ERROR: The installation "perl-5.37.3" is unknown.

Anything I can check?

If I manually symlink it to perl-5.37.3 then it works fine. I shouldn't have to do that though, right?

gugod commented 2 years ago

This is perhaps an regression. perlbrew is supposed to detrct thar 5.37 is a dev release and do whatever adjustment for you. The symlink you've done manually (perl -> perl5.37.3) should have happened automatically.
