How To Fix perlbrew: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu perlbrew is provided by perlbrew package.

perlbrew is:

perlbrew is a program to automate the building and installation of perl in the users HOME. At the moment, it installs everything to ~/perl5/perlbrew, and requires you to tweak your PATH by including a bashrc/cshrc file it provides, in your shell configuration file. You then can benefit from not having to run ‘sudo’ commands to install cpan modules because those are installed inside your HOME too. It’s a completely separate perl environment.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install perlbrew

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

sudo apt -y install perlbrew

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install perlbrew
