NAME

psperl

SYNTAX

psperl [-Command]

psperl [-Command <string>]

VERBS

-Available

The `Available` command will grab the list of releases from

Strawberry Perl's JSON file:

http://strawberryperl.com/releases.json

and parse out which releases are available in Portable form

-release types found here:

http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html

-Init

The Init command is usually just added to your $Profile so that psperl

is always in your PowerShell's $env:Path environment variable. From

that point, you could just run any other psperl command.

-Install <string>

Once you've selected which version of Perl you'd like to use

from the list supplied in the `Available` command, you'd just need

to install it.

This command will download the Portable Perl zip file from

Strawberry Perl's site, store it locally, check its checksum,

unzip it, and have it available to use later.

-List

Show a listing of which Perls are currently installed. An asterisk

(*) indicates the version currently in use.

-Setup

Ensure all directories are in place, and that you have $Profile setup

and in place. It will add a few lines to your $Profile to initialize

the application and ensure everything's in your $env:Path correctly.

-Switch <string>

Change your current environment setup to use any version of

Perl already installed. This will be made persistent as we'll

store the current version in our local config directory and

every time you start a PowerShell session, we'll setup your

environment for the selected version of Perl.

You can change which Perl you're using as many times as you'd

like during a session, though you can only use one Perl at a

time.

-Use <string>

Almost exactly the same as the `Switch` command. However, it's not

persistent.

With this command, we just start using a different version of Perl,

but we haven't switched our preference to that one. If the current

preference is Perl v5.28 and it's what is setup to start on

PowerShell sessions, we could temporarily use Perl v5.30 with this

command. If the session's closed and re-opened, it'll be back on

Perl v5.28.

You can change which Perl you're using as many times as you'd

like during a session, though you can only use one Perl at a

time.

-Version

Displays the verson of PSPerl you're currently using.
