I need to get to my .profile so that I can change things like command prompt.
The /etc/skel file is used to set the default profile for all users added to the box. You shouldnt have to change what is already there.
First, check to see that you have a .profile. You more than likely already do. You will find it in your home directory. Since it is a hidden file, you [obviously] wont be able to see it with a normal ls listing. Try ls -a.

To change your prompt:

export PS1='$PWD--> '

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::new - mint a new dist VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
Creates a new Dist-Zilla based distribution under the current directory. $ dzil new Main::Module::Name There are two arguments, "-p" and "-P". "-P" specify the minting profile provider and "-p" - the profile name. The default profile provider first looks in the ~/.dzil/profiles/$profile_name and then among standard profiles, shipped with Dist::Zilla. For example: $ dzil new -p work Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to look in ~/.dzil/profiles/work for a profile.ini (or other "profile" config file). If no profile name is given, "dzil" will look for the "default" profile. If no default directory exists, it will use a very simple configuration shipped with Dist::Zilla. $ dzil new -P Foo Corporate::Library This command would instruct "dzil" to consult the Foo provider about the directory of 'default' profile.
