For c2ph I agree it seems to have gone.  I'm out of cycles to
address that (or to look at the unrelated man-db suggestion) at the
moment, hope Bruce will be reading ;-)  If not, maybe tomorrow.

But on the 8.3 system where I'm reading this, /usr/bin/perl5.28.0 is
indeed a hard link to /usr/bin/perl as the book says.  Use 'ls -li'
to confirm they have the same inode numbers.  And if they don't I'm
afraid your package management is probably at fault.

If so, having separate binaries is usually not a big deal, it merely
wastes space.
