usage:

$ alias perlsh='perl ~/bin/perlsh.pl'
$ perlsh
perl.exe 5.10.0
% @l=qw(the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog)
the,quick,brown,fox,jumps,over,the,lazy,dog
% @sorted_by_length = map {$_->[0]} sort {$a->[1] <=> $b->[1]} map {[$_, length]} @l

First run the script with profiling enabled:

 perl -d:DProf myscript.pl

then run the profile-dumper:

 dprofpp tmon.out

 @target = map [map $_ = $_, @{$_}], @source;

Then you're probably on a RedHat >= v9 system. Do this:

export LANG=C

and retry.

The easy way which also automatically fetches all modules needed by the module:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install modulename'

e.g.:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install WWW::Search'
