Install Git.pm in a perlbrew installation
Raw
install_Git.pm.md

Git.pm is a module that comes with git and can't be installed with the usual cpan magic. If you switch to perlbrew you'll get a Can't locate Git.pm error when you try to run it, so you need to install it explicitly if you want to use it in your own installation, mainly if you use perlbrew I use it in my novels for post-commit hooks, so here's what you have to do to have it available in your programs

bash$ cp /usr/share/perl5/Git.pm ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.x.y/lib/site_perl/5.x.y

you'll have to change x.y by the perl version you're actually using. You'll also need Error.pm, so do

bash$ cp /usr/share/perl5/Error.pm ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.x.y/lib/site_perl/5.x.y

And that's it!

I have tested it using ln -s in place of cp and it works as it should my comands :

ln -s /usr/share/perl5/Error* perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/
ln -s /usr/share/perl5/Git* perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.2/lib/site_perl/5.14.2/
