v3.2 works fine; v 3.6 gives a splash screen, waits for my to hit enter, then freezes, blank. I was happy with 3.2, except it doesn't come with perl-doc and I've wasted God alone knows how many hours diddling with dselect, apt-get, dpkg trying to get perl-doc installed. This might be merely a reflection of my competence.

Requesting pointers of two sorts: 1.) How to get perl-doc going on a 3.2 install (apt-get install perl-doc is no good) or 2.) How to get 3.6 running on this machine; what cheat codes, etc.

Many many thanks to all.
