OK....I did some RTFM on 'type' and 'hash', which led me to open a new shell.
That solved my reported problem, but I'm now back to my initial
problem which is that when a run get_player I get "segmentation
fault".

Please post output which includes the error message you report.

I agree that it would be helpful to see the actual error message, possibly accompanied with --debug output to narrow down where the error is occurring.

I am a novice when it comes to Linux (and Perl) so please excuse me if what I say is not sensible or uses the wrong terminology.

Try
type -aP perl
perl -v

get_iplayer has been fairly well tested, so it may be other parts of John's installation are at fault. It is clear from the output we have seen so far that get_iplayer has been successfully invoked, and that it is the ppa installation of v3.06, so the path to get_iplayer is not a problem. The first command I have suggested should tell him if he has more than one instance of Perl, possibly through not uninstalling the previous instance, and the path to them. The second will identify the Perl version.
perl -V
will also identify the patches, but someone else will need to explain how to identify the dependencies because that is beyond my level of knowledge.

Best wishes
Richard
