Re: [Omaha.pm] [olug] [OLUG] Feb 3 6:30: What's new in Perl?

[Ross Nelson <ross.nelson@gmail.com>]

5.18.2, which is shipped with OS X 10.10

I tried to install the latest as shown above, but this happened:

rnelson@boxer ~ $ perlbrew install 5.21.8 && perlbrew switch 5.21.8

Fetching perl 5.21.8 as /Users/rnelson/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.21.8.tar.bz2

Download http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.21.8.tar.bz2 to /Users/rnelson/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.21.8.tar.bz2

sh: tar: command not found

Failed to extract /Users/rnelson/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.21.8.tar.bz2 at /Users/rnelson/perl5/perlbrew/bin/perlbrew line 963.

rnelson@boxer ~ $ which tar

-bash: which: command not found

rnelson@boxer ~ $

It took /usr/bin out of $PATH and then broke when tar (which lives at /usr/bin/tar) wasn't found.

Yup! I'll give a whirlwind tour of some cool new stuff in Perl.  :)
