convert is an ImageMagick app installed in /bin/convert, but when plenv is installed, I get this error:

$ convert
plenv: convert: command not found

The `convert' command exists in these Perl versions:
  5.18.4

I'm running Perl 5.20.2, Fedora 21.

Should plenv support to install perl5 with sitecustomize.pl?

Is there any plan for implementation, something similar to perlbrew.

Maybe I can help on this at the hackathon, but the installation document is a little unclear which method is the best (CPAN, homebrew or git).

I think many people are already using perlbrew and consider switching to plenv. In that case, installing plenv with cpanm under homebrew is quite dangerous and could lead to a confusing situation. I actually have done that initially (i.e. cpanm App::plenv under homebrew perl), and when I tried to stop using perlbrew, then there's no plenv to use anymore.

I think there's a big caveat under the CPAN section that you have to use the system perl to install plenv, like actually using /usr/bin/perl

curl -L cpanmin.us | /usr/bin/perl - --sudo App::plenv

since otherwise there's a chicken-egg problem (I think?).

Also: There should probably be an entry for "why is plenv rehash necessary after cpanm installation" in the FAQ.

When running a shim such as perl, $PATH is polluted with ~/.plenv/libexec and plenv plugins' bin/ directories.

$ perl -E '(my $p = $ENV{"PATH"}) =~ s!(:$ENV{HOME}/bin:).*!$1...!; $p =~ s!$ENV{HOME}\/!\$HOME/!g;say $p'
$HOME/.plenv/versions/5.16.3/bin:$HOME/.plenv/libexec:$HOME/.plenv/plugins/perl-build/bin:$HOME/bin:...

I am on Mac OSX 10.5.8 and installed plenv using brew. However, the install is throwing error for any version of perl i try to install. Below is the one for perl-5.10.1

Any idea why it's happening and how to fix it ?

I was thinking of setting up the apache user on RHEL5 with plenv so that it would be aware of .perl-version files within different webapp directories. By default, the apache user doesn't have a login. How would you set this up without changing that?

For Bugzilla, which is what I'm working on now, I started by creating a system account for user 'bugzilla'. Now I'm setting up plenv for that user as instructed here. Next I'll need to figure out a maintainable way to ensure that Bugzilla is always run as bugzilla user and therefore picks up ".perl-version" under "./bugzilla/".

Fish is awesome, plenv is awesome, they should be awesome together!

Hi,
I just installed 5.20.1 via plenv. I was using a development version previously via perlbrew. After successful install I did a plenv migrate-modules system 5.20.1. This seemed to install my modules, as a list-modules command shows me several modules. Particularly the Template one. I am trying to run that, and it is not found in my @inc.

Any ideas?

For detailed information on installing Perl versions with
perl-build, including a list of environment variables for adjusting
compilation, see: https://github.com/tokuhirom/perl-build#usage

But https://github.com/tokuhirom/perl-build#usage doesn't actually have a usage section and I don't see environment variables mentioned anywhere.

What I'm looking for is how to pass my own args to Configure in plenv install.

Thanks!

Sorry to open it as an issue – it probably doesn't belong here, but since github doesn't have a messaging feature anymore, this was the only way I could communicate with you.

One of my pet projects is rakudobrew (http://github.com/tadzik/rakudobrew), and when I thought of finally writing it correctly for it to be actually useful to anybody, I wondered if it'd be possible to implement it as a plenv plugin. I see that 'plenv build' is implemented as a plugin, but its usage seems to be hardcoded in plenv itself. So I wonder, is there a way to write a plugin for plenv? How would I do that?

I've had "try switching to plenv" on my to-do for a while. This morning, I tried!

I cloned into .plenv, set up bash profile entries, and so on.

rjbs@proto:~$ plenv install
-bash: plenv: command not found

Hm.

rjbs@proto:~$ ls .plenv/bin -l

git blame shows that plenv got deleted in cfa6f64. Now it's "rbenv-based." I need to run make to get plenv set up. Okay! Clearly I need to install rbenv, so I did.

rjbs@proto:~/.plenv$ make

I guess I need to set up my rbenv first… but I don't use rbenv. I guess I should, but I don't, and I don't know what I have to do next. Running rbenv doesn't show any "setup" command or anything.

If nothing else, the README needs to be updated.

$ plenv install 5.19.3
Fails on my x86_64 mageia with gcc 4.7.2

Reason being:
Your C compiler "cc" doesn't seem to support stdarg or varargs!

The files (stdarg.h and varargs.h) does exist in:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include

And gcc does include them internally:
$ touch foo.c && gcc --verbose -c foo.c 2>&1 |grep -A3 '#include <'

include <...> search starts here:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include
/usr/local/include
/usr/include

But perl-build does not look in that directory:
Directories to use for library searches?
[/usr/local/lib /lib/../lib64 /usr/lib/../lib64 /lib /usr/lib /lib64 /usr/lib64 /usr/local/lib64]

How can I change that list

It would be great if plenv would officially support an application directory configuration by setting PLENV_HOME to the application directory.

The application would still have to run plenv init in its shell environment, of course.

Update #69 fails for our site.

This would probably require plenv being rewritten; bash is not very Windows-compatible, even with Cygwin / MinGW's best efforts.

Need some instructions in the Install section on how to install without Git.

hello,

I think the follwing line is not PLENV_ROOT, but PLENV_HOME
https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv/blob/master/bin/plenv#L447

I run commands without reading the help. It's just what I do, apparently. I ran this:

$ plenv install -j8 5.18.1

This installed 5.18.1 as -j8. I realize that the -j8 was dumb. I just figured it would do what I thought. That's not the problem, it was totally my fault.

First, smaller problem:

Why did that work? It doesn't match the usage of plenv install.

rjbs@d6proto:~$ plenv install

Summary: Install a Perl version using the perl-build plugin

Usage: plenv install [-v|--verbose] <version>
       plenv install [-v|--verbose] /path/to/definition

  -v/--verbose     Verbose mode: print compilation status to stdout
  --as=<NAME>      Install the definition as <NAME>
  --test           Run test cases

Second, larger problem:

I can't uninstall my screw-up!!

rjbs@d6proto:~$ plenv versions
  system

When I run 'plenv install-cpanm' it downloads something and then says: "App::cpanminus is up to date. (1.7004)"

However, when I attempt "cpanm Carton" it finds no 'cpanm' in my $PATH. Shouldn't "plenv install-cpanm" install the 'cpanm' "binary" in ~/.plenv/bin ??

Hi is there a way to specify a minimum version in .perl-version file.

for example >= 5.2X.X?

Using plenv+carton is recommended, but there are no examples or documentation to help people get started.

Could you add some examples showing a basic use of plenv+carton ?

I just tried to build Perl 5.21.8 and it seemed to work okay

Module::Build was a core module, but no longer is

$ perl -MModule::CoreList -E 'say Module::CoreList->removed_from("Module::Build")'
5.021

Do we need to do something else to install cpanm now? I'm having trouble working out if this a problem with Perl 5.21.8, App::cpanminus, Module::Build or plenv.

If you install PerlPowerTools http://search.cpan.org/~bdfoy/PerlPowerTools/ it installs bunch of binaries including head and cat into perl's bin, which makes plenv create shims for it ... and then any command invoked by plenv will recurse into itself (because they call head and cat etc.?) and fork bombs the shell until it takes down the system.

In my particular case, plenv rehash triggered the whole breakage, but i guess any commands will do, once head/cat are symlinked.

I have no time to investigate further but this actually happened to me, and there should be a safe guard in plenv to prevent it from happening.

$ plenv -v
plenv 2.0.1
$ plenv -ape
/usr/local/bin/plenv: line 85: 3: Bad file descriptor

Line 85 is echo "plenv: no such command \'$command'" >&3, but that file descriptor seems to not be open (yet?). Is it a typo, should it be >&2 to output to STDERR?

$ plenv rehash
/home/me/.plenv/libexec/plenv-hooks: line 23: type: write error: Broken pipe
$ plenv rehash
$ #Worked this time! WTF?

This is on FreeBSD FWIW

$ plenv shell
plenv: no such command `shell'

This error can be fixed by addling a condition to change the command_path for plenv shell command. ( which should be plenv-sh-shell )

Example code in plenv file:

79 command_path="$(command -v "plenv-$command" || true)"
80 if [ -z "$command_path" ]; then

test/shim.t uses ext/test-simple-bash/lib that is not in the repository.
It would be useful to put a test/README that would say how to fetch the ext directory.

Although the module exists in my local lib, it isn't in my @inc.

So I thought add the extra lib dir to @inc

perl: symbol lookup error: /home/user/project/local/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/Data/Structure/Util/Util.so: undefined symbol: Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck

Using Perl installed by the system solves the problem

plenv global system
plenv shell system
plenv rehash

carton exec perl -e 'print "$_\n" for @inc'
/home/user/project/local/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

/usr/lib/perl/5.14
/usr/share/perl/5.14
/usr/local/lib/site_perl

Now my application runs fine. So it seems that modules installed by Carton are compiled against my system perl instead of the one installed by plenv in my home directory.

This is because plenv is a perl script and accepts PERL5OPT no matter what. If you specify -M with modules you don't have with your system perl, it breaks.

Ultimately plenv should be written in bash (no joking), but i guess there should be a workaround to hook these PERL_* env variables before executing plenv perl script.

There's no way to know which plenv i'm running.

✗ plenv -v

plenv install-cpanm creates a shim that calls rehash automatically and that is causing me pains.

There should be a mechanism for cpanm to automatically call plenv rehash only when there's a successful module installation.

Not a big deal, but which seems to locate commands outside perl's bin, while exec fails to. It looks like an inconsistent behavior - compare with rbenv.

plenv rehash is so slow (takes about 10 seconds) as I have many plenv versions installed. rbenv rehash is about 300ms.

It annoys the hell out of me because plenv install-cpanm adds a rehash hook for every invocation for cpanm, even for --info usage etc.

Turns out there're lots of shims like xsubpp5.20.1, and that is causing the extra step.

➜  .plenv  ls shims/ | grep  5. | wc -l
     792
➜  .plenv  ls shims/ | grep  -v 5. | wc -l
     320

These executables are completely useless because plenv takes care of switching versions.

I'm sure if plenv stops symlinking these executables plenv rehash is much faster.

Just curious, why is .perl-version checked in the repository?

I chdir'ed to ~/.plenv to use the git install of plenv, and after that, every command I run from there uses 5.8.9 and i was confused.

I think it's better to exclude that file from git repo (and add to .gitignore) but let me know if there's a reason to add this in the repository.

When running
plenv install -l

it appears that we just get a truncated HTML listing.
It worked when I tried later.

I've been using plenv for a while with no problems. But after converting some cron jobs to plenv on OS X and Solaris, I started seeing some errors like this:

/path/to/foo.pl: line 2: use: command not found

Here is the behavior I have observed: when running a shell script that executes a perl script, the shebang in the perl script is ignored, and the content of the perl script is being evaluated as shell script.

I was able to prevent the error using the 'eval exec perl ...' magic from the perlrun manpage. But that is unfortunately not a great across-the-board solution for the target environment.

I was able to write a test case that illustrates the problem, see here:

I am curious why you gave up on this dist? Did you find something better? Did it not fit the Perl way? Perlbrew does some of what Python's virtualenv does, but only some of it.

How to use it within CGI?

Or what is the shebang like "#!/usr/bin/env perl" in perlbrew?
