Bug#857996: perlbrew's initialization shell script doesn't work with /bin/sh

[Heiko Schlittermann (HS12-RIPE)]

Package: perlbrew
Version: 0.78-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I'm using the current gnome desktop. It *seems*, that starting a
XSession means running /etc/X11/Xsession, which is a /bin/sh
script.

It searches for the user's profile and sources it.
My .profile contains . …/perlbrewrc.

The perlbrewrc makes use of bashisms (e.g. the <<<
input redirection operator.)

I believe this can be fixed easily.
