← /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl /opt/local/bin/perl /home/gugod/local/bin/perl
← /usr/bin/perl5.8.8 /usr/bin/perl5.10.0 /usr/bin/perl site_lib is preserved after upgrade @INC
gets longer and longer.
The awesomeness perl is very backward compatible Ideal for production
keep upgrading perl is generally OK don’t necessarily have to upgrade cpan modules following a perl upgrade.
The huh CPAN modules are not necessarily backward compatible. XS
modules might need to be recompiled with new perl Upgrading modules might not be avoidable.
The hmm The current CPAN architecture sort of encourages upgrading
The default is to install the latest version of modules. Upgrading CPAN modules isn’t necessarily smooth.
The err Errors happens at runtime XS errors happens at
install / compile time and it is ^%@&* to solve.
Worst of all Have to upgrade perl before doing all
that. an all-in-ish move
Worst of all Dirty state 100 CPAN modules are updated
1 failed Can’t easily revert
retreat cp /usr/bin/perl${old} /usr/bin/perl old perl does not contain new
site_lib
But what if Upgrade perl for... performance bug-fixes evaluation
Practicals Module authors have to correctly specify module dependencies. Module
users have to run tests in order to reveal runtime errors. assuming there are sufficient numbers of tests
!

Properties isolated perl installations bin, site_lib, local::lib install a new
version ≠ upgrade @INC does not include old site_lib
Benefits `sudo cpan` is no more easier-to-clean perl environments Nuke
the whole thing to clean the mess No old @INC
Benefits per-app isolated perl environments setup. avoid, in advance, any
possible incompatible issues with other apps. know your libs
avoid lib conflicts with what you had install older versions
of modules without worries to break other app code. cpanm http://URL.TO/Mo-0.1.tar.gz App::pmuninstall Benefits
Rationale Don’t mess up vendor perl too much. Learn new
stuffs in the dev version of perl. keep up with the fashion
Rationale Test modules or apps ... with newer perl ...
with older perl
Rationale Test perl itself -Dusethreads -Duse64bitall -Duse64bitint Configure -h -D
-U -A
Rationale spare some guts B, XS Better with a perl
built with DEBUGGING
Thoughts perlbrew « cpanm, ack, rvm
Thoughts One standalone program embed non-core modules very easy distribution
runs a tiny bit faster
Thoughts rvm bash programming master-piece developer-friendly experiences production uses
Further Thoughts Deprecate switch/use to external perl Improve multi-user scenario
More related tool to help developer identify module upgrade failure, and revert to a good state.
Further Thoughts Good + Simple toolkit Keep new-comers by not
frustrating them Grow the community
Simple is Hard
