No, it's not. You've chosen to use a tool, read and understand the documentation and that of the systems you've chosen to use. There's no magic to anything. Take the time to understand these things.

    To paraphrase Arthur C Clarke, if you can't understand it, it's f*cking magic.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      Glancing at something won't make you understand it. Update: thanks for proving my point.

        I know enough to know when I've been down a road before and have met without success and will likely be tearing my hair out for no good reason. The solution I found was not on that man page because things were complicated by the fact that I had used the debian package system to install mysql. The man page simply does not cover that scenario. And I know just about jack about the debian packaging system to be able to figure out a workaround on my own. See what worked below.

        $PM = "Perl Monk's";
        $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
        $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;
