Yeah, the complexity of chess! I'm getting there. I do miss a lot of short-cuts and efficiencies in Perl that would help, but this is a good exercise to learn Perl. > I'd disagree and say that your suggestion of Intermediate Perl would be > the next best step. > > A book.

I'm currently unemployed, so I can't really fork out for both books right now - but I have plenty of time to learn Perl!
