Is there a way to install a2p on Ubuntu?

Multi tool use
.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?
awk perl

Apparently it got dropped. How about usingperlbrew(sudo apt install perlbrew) to set up a customized perl installation which includesa2p? A simpleperlbrew install stableshould 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 ;)
