Anonymous Monk, thank you for your reply. Perhaps I should have said I couldn’t use modules because I don’t know how to download and compile anything in MachTen. I had previously tried to upgrade to Perl 5.8 but couldn’t. I’m just a user. Other than the program I have which I tried to enhance, I don’t program or do any kind of system administration. I am seventy two and retired. I have bought several Perl books and tried to learn Perl programing, but because I don’t program for a living, or get enough Perl practice, I forget what I learned after a while. I no longer have the retention I used to have. I will try again to see if I can install the latest stable Perl in MachTen. One day, I will buy a new Mac, and hopefully I’ll have what I need. I regret any inconvenience I have caused you or the other members. I didn’t know who else to ask.
