How to display all available perls in perlbrew?

I can list all available perls via perlbrew available

kes@kes-X751SA ~ $ pb available

   perl-5.32.0   
   perl-5.30.3   
   perl-5.28.3   
   perl-5.26.3   
   perl-5.24.4   
   perl-5.22.4   
   perl-5.20.3   
   perl-5.18.4   
   perl-5.16.3   
   perl-5.14.4   
   perl-5.12.5   
   perl-5.10.1   
    perl-5.8.9   
    perl-5.6.2   
  perl5.005_03   
  perl5.004_05   
  cperl-5.29.2   
  cperl-5.30.0   
  cperl-5.30.0-RC1

But this list only contain latest available perls. For example I did not see from this list currently installed perl from perlbrew

kes@kes-X751SA ~ $ which perl
/home/kes/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.1/bin/perl

I have tried perlbrew available --verbose but this is not the full list:

kes@kes-X751SA ~ $ pb available --verbose

Is there an option which displays all available perls?

Solution

  • According to the documentation:

    Usage: perlbrew available [--all]

    List the recently available versions of perl on CPAN.

    The list is retrieved from the web page http://www.cpan.org/src/README.html, and is not the list of all perl versions ever released in the past.

    To get a list of all perls ever released, use the --all option.

    so you can use:

    $ perlbrew available --all
