Verman

Version Manager for multiple languages.

Disclaimers

• This code is garbage.
• It's written in Perl.
• Those two items are not correllated.

It's written in Perl, because perl is installed literally everywhere. I may rewrite it in Python, because that's also (nowadays) installed everywhere.

It's garbage, because I tried to be too "cute" with the execution model.

Supported languages

I use these somewhat regularly, and Verman works for my purposes.

• Ruby

Experimental

• GHC
• Haskell (intended to support the "Haskell Platform")
• Rust

Installation

1. Link bin/verman into a directory in your $PATH, or add the bin directory directly (wherever you've checked it out) to your $PATH.

2. Write your own shell wrappers if you want shell integration.

E.g. mine:

(And, yes, you want shell integration. It's basically required until I figure out how I want to handle default versions.)
