Improve blead support #101

Closed afresh1 closed 3 years ago

afresh1 commented 3 years ago

I got annoyed that I couldn't get a new version of blead without removing the old one and that it was hard to tell when it was from.

It would be nice to be able to specify @{$date} or @{$commit} but I don't have a specific need for that at the moment, and this solves my current annoyance of getting an old version of blead when I wanted the new one.

I think I will look into putting this feature into Perl::Build itself, allowing you to specify things like perl-build blead@{2021-01-01} and getting a blead from that date, or let it use any format that api.github.com will accept.

Ok, here is the implementation that adds support to perl-build itself for installing from any github branch. It will let you plenv install $hash or plenv install smoke-me/whatever or plenv install blead@{2001-02-03}

ahh, a force push means a new PR.
