Thank you for your patient help dinky.

I have been moving between Linux and Windows and getting myself in a 
mess. I have installed the latest Windows version using the setup exe 
and then overwritten the perl script with the one from github. I have 
now d/l the two Tommies files.

I have not yet replaced the perl script on my Linux machine due to my 
unfamiliarity with folder ownership and not knowing the consequences of 
taking over ownership from root. And if I do, do I leave it as mine or 
will that cause other apps problems later? Do I return ownership to root 
once I have replaced the perl script file?

LInux: I've tried putting the latest perl script file in the downloads 
folder the dropping to Terminal in that folder and running get_iplayer. 
This seems to run the installed version 2.82 and not the recently 
downloaded v2.86 from github. I had rather assumed it would run the copy 
from the same folder and not go looking for the original. I have changed 
permissions of the downloaded one to executable.

Thanks again.
