Plenvbin

Plenvbin is a command-line tool designed to manage multiple versions of the Perl programming language. It is particularly useful for developers who need to work on projects that require different versions of Perl, or who want to test their code against various Perl versions. Plenvbin is a part of the Plenv ecosystem, which also includes Plenv and Plenv-installer.

The primary function of Plenvbin is to switch between different Perl versions installed on a system. This is achieved by modifying the PATH environment variable to point to the desired Perl version's bin directory. Plenvbin can be used to list all installed Perl versions, set a global or local Perl version, and revert to the system Perl version.

To install Plenvbin, users typically need to have Plenv and Plenv-installer already set up. Once installed, Plenvbin can be invoked using the plenvbin command in the terminal. For example, to list all installed Perl versions, a user would run plenvbin versions. To set a local Perl version for a specific project directory, a user would run plenvbin local <version>.

Plenvbin is a lightweight tool that integrates seamlessly with the Plenv ecosystem, providing a straightforward way to manage Perl versions. It is particularly useful in continuous integration (CI) environments, where different Perl versions may need to be tested. However, it is important to note that Plenvbin should be used in conjunction with Plenv and Plenv-installer for a complete Perl version management solution.
