One more note for beginners (like myself) buying Perl books -
The Perl CD Bookshelf is $71.96 (USD) at Amazon and $47.97 (USD) at
FatBrain.com. Shop around.
(I have any no financial ties to FatBrain just looking to help the end user)

Learning languages by reverse engineering does not work for most people.
Try Learning Perl and the Perl Cookbook for starters. Also go to
http://learn.perl.org/

Scott,
I knew nothing when I started. I found a copy of a program and dug out
every word until it I understood it and the flow from top to bottom. I have
found this a good way to learn any language.
