A proper 5.8 may throw the right warnings. But according to the project page is Tiny Perl cutting off a lot of the code in order to condense the size to tiny (sic) And did you ever check if the constant/read-only values were really changed? Anyway please be kind and tag such posts in the title with Tiny Perl in the future, like the Perl4 and Raku folks do.

Okay. I will do that!	[reply]
Perl 5.8 (was: Re^3: How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ?) by Bod (Parson) on Nov 09, 2023 at 13:54 UTC
Perl 5.8 is listed as a Legacy version and is now over 20 years old. In my mind, that counts as ancient!	[reply]

I mean 5.8 is not such an ancient version. I would say that Perl 4 is ancient. Perl 4? Why not go all the way back to Perl 1? Now that you have a Linux box, you can build it from source a lot quicker than building a modern perl. Runs a lot faster too, without all those pesky modules slowing things down. ;-) 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]

Ubuntu used to come with a system perl already pre installed, not sure about Ubuntu 23. I know system perl is not ideal for installing further modules for development, but for checking lvalues it's more than enough. On a side note, I recently I managed to break the only terminal installed "gterm" just by installing another python app via apt-get. Talking about the downsides of fiddling with system python.

Ubuntu used to come with a system perl already pre installed, not sure about Ubuntu 23 ... for checking lvalues it's more than enough Sure, sure. In How do I install a Perl module? he indicated he had `perl` running on his Ubuntu box and was seeking advice on installing a CPAN graphics module. Unfortunately, he went quiet after that and didn't report back how it all went ... presumably not well if he's back on the dreaded `TinyPerl` on `Windows XP`. :) 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply] [d/l] [select]
