plenv: Set the local application-specific Perl version (used in the current directory and all directories below it).

plenv

$ plenv local ${version}

try on your machine

This command is typically used in the context of managing multiple versions of the Perl programming language on a system, where "plenv" is a tool for managing different Perl installations.

The command "plenv local ${version}" sets the local Perl version to the specified version, represented by "${version}". It allows you to define the Perl version that will be used within the current directory and its subdirectories.

When this command is executed, it creates or updates a file named ".perl-version" in the current directory. The content of this file will be the specified Perl version.

This is helpful when you have different Perl projects or scripts with different version requirements. By using "plenv local", you can ensure that the correct Perl version is automatically used when working within a specific project directory.
