perlbrew custom folder for libs

147 views Asked by At

When I use

perlbrew lib create testlibs

to have a folder to store test libraries from CPAN, it creates a folder under the following path:

$HOME/.perlbrew/libs/perl-5.32.0@testlibs/lib/perl5

How can I tell perlbrew to store the libs folder ( perl-5.32.0@testlibs ) under a different folder such as /opt/perl5/libs, etc.?

I have very little disk space for home mountpoint on my server, so I need libs folders to be created on a different mountpoint. I already have PERLBREW_ROOT set to a different mountpoint, but that only makes perlbrew install new perl installation folders under it. It doesn't do it for the libs folders, which was surprising.

I already read the documentation and googled the hell out of this, but I can't find some env variable I can use to tell perlbrew where to install libs folders.

I know I can manipulate locallib env variables and even use lib on my scripts to point to some other folder, but it would be nice to have this all included within perlbrew.
