GNU STOW is an exception, but it uses perl in /tools from chapter 5 until it can be installed in chapter 6. Beyond that , the only perl module in chapter 5 is XML::Parser. I could install all modules needed in /tools and use them in chapter 6, but I'm forcing myself to expand my bash experience by using what most other disti creators use. </div><div><br></div><div>It would nice to find a book titled: "Bash for Perl Programmers".
