D-ITET Perl usage notes
- Please use the default perl (/usr/bin/perl) that is installed on all Debian Linux computers.
- If you use or reference (in your scripts) older perl interpreters from other directories, you should switch to the default perl interpreter.
A bunch of most-often used perl modules is installed with the default perl interpreter. Additional perl modules can be installed in your home using cpan or a similar tool like cpanm.
