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
