in thread How to find out if an argument is an LVALUE ? (TinyPerl)

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.

    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. :)
