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

[Ross Nelson]

5.18.2, which is shipped with OS X 10.10

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

rnelson at 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 at boxer ~ $ which tar
-bash: which: command not found
rnelson at boxer ~ $

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