"multiperl" is perl5 interpreter installer for perl developers.

*Pros*

• simple
• install multiple version of perl, very easy
• you can install patched version of 5.6.2, 5.8.1
  • wrote patch by tokuhirom
  • see http://github.com/tokuhirom/perl/commit/04d94d8fd69b0ed6e18571f9c6ba9568bc8612ac

install

% multiperl 5.8.9 -Dusethreads

note

I dislike "switching" approach, such as rvm.Becase it causes "agghggggggghhh, which perl is not 5.8.1!!!!111111" issue.

And, perl5 hackers don't need switching, I think.Because perl5 hackers don't need to use this tool frequently.
Perl5 has great backward compatibility. perl5++
