I'm trying to replicate the material in chp 12 of _Intermediate Perl_. I have done this before successfully but can't get off the starting line now. I started so; I have to use pre tags because the hyphen blows up in c tags:

module−starter −−module=Minnow −−author="Gilligan" −−email=gilligan@island.example.com −−verbose

sudo apt install libmodule-starter-perl

and got:

$ Command 'module−starter' not found, did you mean:

  command 'module-starter' from deb libmodule-starter-perl

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

Fair enough, I'll do that:

$ sudo apt install libmodule-starter-perl
sudo password for bob:

It continues with no announcement of errors.

...still module−starter is not a known command. I install Module::Starter (again, I think):

$ sudo cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.18)
Enter 'h' for help.

After all this, I'm still shooting blanks:

$ module−starter −−module=Minnow −−author="Gilligan" −−email=gilligan@island.example.com −−verbose

Command 'module−starter' not found, did you mean:

  command 'module-starter' from deb libmodule-starter-perl

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

$ module−starter hhhh

Command 'module−starter' not found, did you mean:

  command 'module-starter' from deb libmodule-starter-perl

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>
$

Fishing for tips. Thanks for your comment.
