You can use any Linux distribution. I much prefer openSUSE, but that's entirely personal preference. You might be restricted in the future by a computer at $work.
So my advice and main point of this advice: Don't rely on a particular system Perl version.

What I have done is doing exactly this, but you may want to try replacing the "5.16.2" with another version number.
In doing so, you can avoid having to deal with incomplete system Perls. And, when you file a bug report for a Perl issue, you can be sure that it is not a vendor issue.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
