Well, in the absence of contradications, I'm going to presume that the poster is using a sane operating system.

Hence, my advice for unix.

    LOL and ++ from me, but it's weird hearing this from one of the co-authors of Learning Perl on Win32 Systems...

    Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))')

    Don't fool yourself.

      That would get even weirder if I told you the history of the book.

      As in, I didn't even know that book was being worked on until I got my complimentary stack of 10 at my home office. And then I did one of those "double-takes" you see on sitcoms.

      And then people asked me "what's the difference between that and Learning Perl, 2ed?", to which I necessarily replied, "I dunno... I worked on the parts that are the same, not the parts that are different."
