OMG! I wish it were simple && non-intrusive. ;)

This command presumptuously created a perl5/perlbrew/* sub-dirs in my
$HOME! I moved it to ~/.perlbrew/ instead then had to export
PERLBREW_ROOT to the latter.

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another
shell to track the status:

  tail -f /home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log

(cd /home/pip/.perlbrew/build; tar xzf
/home/pip/.perlbrew/dists/perl-5.12.1.tar.gz;cd
/home/pip/.perlbrew/build/perl-5.12.1;rm -f config.sh Policy.sh;sh
Configure -de -Dprefix=/home/pip/.perlbrew/perls/perl-5.12.1
-Duseithreads;make;make test && make install) >>
'/home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log' 2>&1
Installing perl-5.12.1 failed. See /home/pip/.perlbrew/build.log to see why.
If you want to force install the distribution, try:

  perlbrew --force install perl

<root@RyuA7SNb2G~>tail -f .perlbrew/build.log
