I'm curious what you mean by "nowadays" here. In my experience, it's only
Debian (and Debian descendants) that ships without documentation for Perl.
I guess I'm wondering if (1) lots of other distros do this too or (2)
Ubuntu does it (as a Debian child), and in your mind Ubuntu _is_ Linux
nowadays.
Just curious, T
For a lot of people, Ubuntu is Linux. Of course, each distro decides
what package to include in their "LiveCD" and what you may need to
download later.
If you already have these packages, you would waste about five minutes
just to determine that. If you don't have them, there are their names
so you can get them.
To tell you the truth, I have no idea what distros have what
documentation. And since there's well over a hundred of them, I'm not
going to send the time to find out. :)

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
