On a Debian squeeze system, installing perlbrew view cpanm, and then running

 perlbrew init

results in an ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc that, when sourced, resets $PATH to :, making all future program invocations rather painful.

p6eval@host04:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
p6eval@host04:~$ source perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc 
p6eval@host04:~$ echo $PATH
:

This happens with version 0.11 of App::perlbrew.

please help verifying that if PERLBREW_ROOT variable is set in ~/.perlbrew/init. It seems to me that it is not, and that that might be the real issue.

If so, try running perlbrew env to see if the output contain PERLBREW_ROOT with value $HOME/perl5/perlbrew. If that's true, you may do:

perlbrew env > ~/.perlbrew/init

This will fix the init file.

Apparently the 'perlbrew init' process totally miss the part that generates ~/.perlbrew/init file. It is fixed and a new version is release. I feel sorry that you have to experience this.

The init file didn't exist; thanks for the fix, I'll try it when the release hits my local cpan mirror
