Why does OpenBSD still include Perl in its base installation?

I'm curious why it's not available in physical copy from Pragmatic?

I believe it is:

https://pragprog.com/cart/add/skus?sku_id=821_820

I'm not confident about the correct "buy" link to use to properly support the book.

It's more valuable to me if you share and enjoy. I give away electronic versions so that it's useful, not to make money from the time I spent writing it.

I found a code-typo on the CPAN website

Is this the page you were reading?

https://cpan.metacpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html

It's not explained on that page, but the distribution App::cpanminus installs a program called cpanm, not cpanminus (as one would expect).

Huh. Yes, that's what I was talking about. But `cpanm` didn't end up anywhere in my path, and at the same time, `cpan Module::Name` successfully downloaded and installed modules that I could use.
