voidvault VS plenv

> Perl 6 was treated as the successor of Perl 5 -- and that was the mistake. It meant Perl 5 started dying,

Perl 6 took a long time to make, but how much did that matter? What was Perl going to do about Rails, Clojure, Go, Rust, JS/TS, and more? The world of programming languages used to be a lot smaller than it is today.

> Perl 6 had a new different syntax.

Inline::Perl5 [3] allows running legacy Perl 5 code in Perl 6 codebases.

I have been using Void Linux for the last many years. My last attempt was through the VoidVault project (https://github.com/atweiden/voidvault) -the choice had been made for security reasons.

https://github.com/atweiden/voidvault is also another nice encrypted installer, this time for BTRFS.

So here it is, a PR with a new implementation of Perlbrew support to the latest version of Liquidprompt and as a bonus, I also added support for plenv and alternative to Perlbrew for handling your Perl installations.

If you don’t care that the version isn’t exactly the same 100% of the time, you can use do sh perlbrew clone-modules (that’s plenv migrate-modules for plenv users). If you want real dependency pinning per project you’re better off using something like Carmel on top of perlbrew or plenv so you can specify what versions of each module you want in your cpanfile, run carmel install whenever you switch to another perl version, and then it should just be a matter of letting Carmel find/load the right versions of each module for you with carmel exec …

Since perlbrew has wholly met my needs, I have not spent much time with plenv. This is not a critique, just my point of view. One warning contained in the plenv read me is:

Nice article. You mention preferring plenv but you only give it passing mention. It would be nice if the article also explained the installation process for that.

Virtual envs are not as much vital in Perl, but there is plenv or perlbrew

Perl perlbrew and plenv is same as Python pyenv.

(Advanced users may want to investigate using perlbrew, plenv, or berrybrew for managing multiple versions of Perl and installing more recent versions than are included on your system.)
