As part of my continuing (if halting) exploration of Perl, I downloaded spork.pl from PerlMonks and tried to get it to work on my system. After fetching the Curses module and a fresh version of ncurses, I managed to get the former to install, but not without much whinging and 'Function NOT found' messages. The normal Curses demo worked. Spork now refuses to compile with a whole screenful of error messages, mostly grumbling about the use of 'our', although there's a good range of complaints. Even with -w and strict turned off, it won't run. Have I got an antiquated (by these standards) version of Perl, or is something else wrong? I found the C-centric nature of the Curses module unhelpful in this connection, needless to say.

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).
