in reply to Windows type needs to set up Linux with Perl 5.8.1 to match PAUSE

Depending on the version (vintage) of Ubuntu, you may well find 5.8.1 on the CD (in the standard install).

Failing that, http://packages.ubuntu.com/{Your Ubuntu version name}/libwww-perl may get you to a pre-compiled source; another possibility is exploring Debian respositories.
