I accidently deleted the default Perl library on Mac OSX Mountain Lion. I know it was a stupid mistake, but how do I fix it? Whenever I try to use Perl I get 

dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/libperl.dylib 
Referenced from: /usr/bin/perl5.12
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

What do I do so I can use Perl again?

Just restore from your backup (e.g. Time Machine). – Paul R Jan 2 at 10:34
do you get any output when you do a perl -v ? – Tudor Constantin Jan 2 at 10:35
I can't restore from a backup because I dont know when it happened. When I do perl -v I get that output. @TudorConstantin – Ulmer Jan 2 at 10:39

Nuclear option: backup your data, reinstall osx, start using perlbrew and try not to touch system perl ever again – nickisfat Jan 2 at 12:24
