David, thanks for that diagnosis.

You are correct in that I apparently no longer had the "fatpacked" 
version of perlbrew in ~/perl5/perlbrew/bin.  Running 'ls' there showed 
only 'patchperl'.  In my attempts to correct this problem yesterday, I 
was saying "cpanm App::perlbrew", which apparently wasn't sufficient.

So today I went back to App::perlbrew's CPAN page and issued:

curl -kL http://install.perlbrew.pl | bash

That put "perlbrew" into the directory named.  In my .bashrc I then 
uncommented the "source" line.  I re-sourced ~/.bashrc.  "perlbrew use" 
now switches perl executables in the same shell, without opening a 
sub-shell.  So, so far it appears everything is DWIMming.

Thank you very much.
