Re: Your random numbers are not that random

Not an answer to your specific issue, but more generally, have you tried App::perlbrew? It makes installing multiple versions of Perl to different locations pretty easy.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Well, I've tried at least one version of perlbrew, but it crashes. It insists on running tests, and there isn't the memory on the Pi for that. Besides, I'm trying to avoid the hours of compiling that seem to be necessary. If there's a site that will give me downloadable binaries for the Pi, please let me know. My fear is that such a copy would leave me facing exactly the same problems as I'm currently getting when trying to copy a working installation. Regards, John Davies	[reply]

`perlbrew install` runs tests by default, but the `--notest` option can be used to skip tests. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I ran my own download and compilation without tests to get the working version. I'm not clear what advantages perlbrew would offer, since I'm trying to avoid having to compile for every card (and every time I re-flash a card). Regards, John Davies	[reply]
