localenv

localenv is a script for automatically shelling into and out of the environment configuration required to use a local::lib environment. It's rather like virtualenv for Python; in fact, the activate script it generates is cribbed mostly from virtualenv for Python.

localenv is designed to work with cpanminus for installing Perl modules.

Usage

$ localenv myenv
$ source myenv/bin/activate
(myenv)$ cpanm Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable  # or whatever
(myenv)$ perldoc -l Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable
/home/username/myenv/lib/perl5/Bot/BasicBot/Pluggable.pm
(myenv)$ deactivate
$ perldoc -l Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable

Requirements

• Python 2.4
• local::lib
• cpanminus (not strictly required but strongly encouraged)

Installation

1. Copy the localenv script to your bin directory and make sure it's executable.
