Perl missing from version-check.sh

[Matthew Burgess]

Fairly trivial, but Perl is mentioned as a host pre-req, but is not checked for in version-check.sh (preface/iv). The following works for me, although I don't know how portable it is across distros/Perl versions:

echo -n "Perl: "; perl --version | head -2 | tail -1 | awk '{print $4}';

This is sort of the more perl-y way to do it:

echo `eval $(perl -V:version); echo Perl: $version`

Or even just perl -V:version .
