I'm trying to learn some Perl. I found an on-line book which is Unix
biased, but the scripts all start with #!/usr/local/bin/perl (which makes
sense if you have compiled and installed it yourself). However, on my
Debian system Perl was of course put in /usr/bin/perl. So how can I write a

Hi group. I'm not giving up and still want to find a way to install a full

After insmod pcd it gave the message:

pcd0: epia
Thanks Jarek,
Q1: how can you check if which module is controlling what? (the startup
messages don't give me a clue).
Type `lsmod` to see which modules are currently loaded.
Q2: how can you disable modules that you don't need?
`rmmod module` will remove the module.
