Struggling in installaion of any module in Perl which is installed using perlbrew

How to install cpan module on specific Perl installation and on system default Perl ?

This is my first question here

Currently I am working on Ubuntu flavor of linux OS. I have default 5.26.1 version of Perl pre-installed. Output of perl -v command copy pasted below

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

I have installed perl-5.8.9 using perlbrew and installed CPAN client cpanm. Now I am trying to install File::Find::Rule module then I am getting output mentioned below. Here I am not getting where this module got installed and how I can control module installation must be done in specific Perl installation

!
! Can't write to /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1 and /usr/local/bin: Inst
+alling modules to /home/kshitij/perl5
! To turn off this warning, you have to do one of the following:
!   - run me as a root or with --sudo option (to install to /usr/local
+/share/perl/5.26.1 and /usr/local/bin)
!   - Configure local::lib in your existing shell to set PERL_MM_OPT e
+tc.
!   - Install local::lib by running the following commands
!
!         cpanm --local-lib=~/perl5 local::lib && eval $(perl -I ~/per
+l5/lib/perl5/ -Mlocal::lib)

I have also tried switching Perl using perlbrew. Note : when I hit command perlbrew list it only lists perl-5.8.9

Did you complete the perlbrew setup as instructed?

marto@Shemp:~$ perlbrew init

perlbrew root (~/perl5/perlbrew) is initialized.

Append the following piece of code to the end of your ~/.profile and s
+tart a
new shell, perlbrew should be up and fully functional from there:

    source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc

Simply run `perlbrew` for usage details.

Happy brewing!

The two important steps here are to edit the profile and start a new shell. From past experience if you don't do this you may see unexpected things happening.

Can't write to /usr/local/share/perl/5.26.1 and /usr/local/bin

Did you complete the perlbrew setup as instructed?

That seems to be the likely explanation. phoenix007: In addition to adding source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc to your ~/.bashrc file and logging out and back in again, make sure you either perlbrew use perl-5.8.9 (for the current shell only), or perlbrew switch perl-5.8.9 (make it the default for this and all future shells; I wouldn't recommend this though because 5.8.9 is quite old).

Thanks haukex. perlbrew use perl-5.8.9 served my purpose of installing module to 5.8.9

[phoenix007]

Thanks for help marto I have already done proper perlbrew setup

The cpanm command you are using may be tied to system perl. Try running the command perlbrew install-cpanm to install one that will work properly with perlbrew.
