Perl ==== Enables local [Perl][1] module installation on Mac OS X and defines aliases. Local Module Installation ------------------------- Perl versions older than 5.14 do not support the local installation of Perl modules natively. This module allows for local installation of Perl modules on Mac OS X in *~/Library/Perl/5.12* by altering the environment. ### Usage For Perl versions older than 5.14, install *local::lib*. curl -L -C - -O http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/A/AP/APEIRON/local-lib-1.008004.tar.gz tar xvf local-lib-1.008004.tar.gz cd local-lib-1.008004 perl Makefile.PL --bootstrap=$HOME/Library/Perl/5.12 make && make test && make install Install *cpanminus*: curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --self-upgrade Perlbrew -------- An alternative to the above is to use [Perlbrew][2], which allows for the management of multiple, isolated Perl installations in the home directory. plenv ----- Yet another alternative is [plenv][3]. This is inspired from rbenv and enables switching between multiple binary installations. The subcommands of plenv is similar with rbenv. Aliases ------- ### General - `pl` is short for `perl`. - `pld` looks up Perl documentation (`perldoc`). - `ple` executes a one line program in a loop (`perl -wlne`). ### Perlbrew - `plb` manages Perl environments. - `plba` lists available Perl versions. - `plbi` installs a Perl version. - `plbl` lists installed Perl versions. - `plbo` temporarily turns off Perlbrew. - `plbO` turns off Perlbrew. - `plbs` switches to a Perl version. - `plbu` uninstalls a Perl version. - `plbx` temporarily sets the Perl version to use. ### plenv - `plv` manages Perl environments. - `plvc` List all available plenv commands. - `plvl` Set or show the local application-specific Perl version. - `plvg` Set or show the global Perl version. - `plvs` Set or show the shell-specific Perl version. - `plvi` Install a Perl version using the perl-build plugin. - `plvu` Uninstall a specific Perl version. - `plvr` Rehash plenv shims (run this after installing executables). - `plvv` Show the current Perl version and its origin. - `plvV` List all Perl versions available to plenv. - `plvw` Display the full path to an executable. - `plvW` List all Perl versions that contain the given executable. - `plvm` List cpan modules in current perl. - `plvM` Migrate cpan modules from other version. - `plvI` Install cpanm. Functions --------- - `perl-info` exposes information about the Perl environment via the `$perl_info` associative array. Theming ------- To display the name of the currach Perl version in a prompt, define the following style in the `prompt_name_setup` function. # %v - perl version. zstyle ':prezto:module:perl:info:version' format 'version:%v' Then add `$perl_info[version]` to `$PROMPT` or `$RPROMPT` and call `perl-info` in the `prompt_name_precmd` hook function.
