So if I understand what I posted above, installed applications will be search in order of the following priority: I was confused before because I did not see anything in /usr/local/bin. I thought this is where software from hone brew would go, or at least where it use to go. I know see it is /opt/homebrew/bin. I like how homebrew provides this isolation from the system installed software. I think I am learning, 1 step at a time, thank you for your time! I wish I installed my other app and tools via homebrew. This will actually by my next task. Appreciate your reply! |

Output of
brew configOutput of
brew doctorDescription of issue
I installed Perl 5.36 using brew install perl. I do not want to mess up the system installed version (5.30) while I practice and learn. When I check the version it only shows perl 5.30 not the latest brew version. I assume this is a PATH issue. I do not want to break anything (system dependencies, etc). What is the best way to set this up?
I was thinking I need to do this: export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin/perl but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm or even recommend the best way to precede without breaking my os? I am new to MacOS, using Ventura and I am using VS Code as my main editor if that matters.
Thanks,
