App-perlbrew VS docker-perl

Perlbrew on github

Note that this Oracle Linux VM comes with Perl 5.26, if you want a more recent version, you could use use Perlbrew.

Install your own Perl with perlbrew, instead of using the system Perl. Then every needed dependency is installed in an isolated Perl with cpanm.

The final and most exciting way to call --init is with a Perl version number. When called with a version number, Plx will look for a Perl of the given version first in your PATH and otherwise via Perlbrew.

perlbrew is a command line tool to intall Perl on user directries. You can install any version of Perl on your user directries and use it.

Can't perlbrew be an option? AFAIK, it installs the Perl of your choice "next to" the Perl that comes with the OS, so both will continue to work.

I build my own Perl based on this Dockerfile, refined to my needs:

I'm not sure how if there are still issues with setlocale on Alpine, as mentioned in https://github.com/Perl/docker-perl/issues/23
