Hello Athanasius

Yes, I may do well to do so. The version I was installing to is Dwimperl from a Padre install. Perhaps my Toolbox can use a PDL shaped strawberry also, at least until I can weild them one in each hand or the like.

Assuming that works it would make sense, nothing ever seems to work out-of-the-box recently, or ever. Apart from that good ol' version I downloaded 800 yrs ago, lol. Which is why I hadnt considered to just download a ready to go PDL version.

I am only just starting to peek at c code on text files, while away from debugging that stuff just yet. Have discovered a bash emulator and Scape Codes, so the Camel starting to make a little more sense, even if i still cant use all the builtins.

I would really like to be able start compiling versions rather than dl pre-compiled binaries, but I may not be so far off that.

Ty for the hint
