About:
Plenv is a lightweight tool for managing multiple versions of Perl on a per-project basis. It allows developers to switch between different Perl versions seamlessly without affecting the system-wide installation. This ensures consistent environments across development teams and simplifies dependency management.
Key Features:
  • Per-project Perl version switching
  • Isolated environment management
  • Simple shims for executable routing
  • Plugin extensibility
Use Cases:
  • Managing multiple Perl versions for different legacy and modern projects
  • Ensuring consistent Perl versions across development and production environments
Alternatives:
  • perlbrew – Plenv is lighter and uses shims, while perlbrew rewrites the shell environment
  • asdf – Plenv is Perl-specific, while asdf is a multi-language version manager
