Is there a way to install a2p on Ubuntu?





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I need a2p to convert a bunch of awk scripts, but starting with Xenial the perl package does not come with a2p any more.



Where can I get a2p from?

    Apparently it got dropped. How about using perlbrew (sudo apt install perlbrew) to set up a customized perl installation which includes a2p? A simple perlbrew install stable should do the trick and (especially) not mess with the system’s perl.

  • Install Virtualbox -> install 14.04 -> install a2p. Keep internet away from this install and you could use it for ages to come ;)

  • thanks @dessert , it sound goods, but isn't there any way to got only the script a2p without the whole perl distro ? I would like this solution to be evolving with my system.
