Re^3: How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ?

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. ;-)

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.

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]
