perl-install

Build and install perls.

This is similar to perl-build. While perl-build is written in perl, perl-install is written in shell script.

perl-install also provides plenv install command.

Install

❯ git clone https://github.com/skaji/perl-install

If you want to use perl-install as a plenv plugin, then change the target directory:

❯ git clone https://github.com/skaji/perl-install $(plenv root)/plugins/perl-install

Note that if you already have perl-build in your plenv plugin directory, then remove it first.

Usage

❯ perl-install --help
Usage: perl-install [options] perl_version prefix

Options:
  -A, -D, -U       set perl configure options
  -l, --list       list stable perl versions, and exit
  -L, --list-all   list all perl versions, and exit
  -j, --jobs       set make --jobs option
  -h, --help       show this help
      --version    show perl-install's version
      --man        generate man pages
      --nopatch    do not apply Devel::PatchPerl
      --test       run test
      --work-dir   set work directory
