Jeffrey,
I would like to test the newest version listed below,
but I am a newbie.
I used: 
$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.16)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan[1]> install Marpa::R2::Value
Marpa::R2::Value is up to date (6.000000).

cpan[2]> 

As you can see, it did not install version 7.000 simply stated that it had 
already installed version 6.

Two questions (one to help me learn, one to help find a solution)

1) Should I have been able to find the answer to this question on 
https://metacpan.org/pod/release/JKEGL/Marpa-R2-7.001_000/pod/Marpa_R2.pod#NAME

2) where should I have found my answer, or what text would google need to 
find it?

Thanks,
David Whitten
