There are at least two solutions, perlbrew[1] and plenv[2]. Personally, I prefer perlbrew.

[1] - https://perlbrew.pl

[2] - https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv

I always use plenv for this.

Not specifically related to your question, but carton is also a must: https://metacpan.org/pod/Carton

Yeah, after installing it earlier today and using it for the first time plenv makes sense to me because I'm also using shims over in pyenv- and rbenv-land, so I set it up like this:

  $ echo 'eval "$(plenv init - zsh)"' >> ~/.zshrc

There's a consistency to them all doing essentially the same thing on my rig (i.e. instead of exporting shell functions to switch PATH).

We use plenv after trying perlbrew. It's shell based, doesn't require perl. The Perl-Build plugin does, however. It has straightforward documentation and creates shims instead of relying on aliases.

Nixpkgs supports multiple versions of Perl and allows you to use them side-by-side.

perlbrew works great for me, never had a reason to seek a different solution
