Owens I'm far from an expert... but I think, for the usage you have described earlier (System admin)... A big end result of mastering perl would be that you could: manipulate files and the contents of files in any way imaginable. extract, insert, re-arrange... combine. Write scripts that could make the OS do your bidding. extract whatever information you need from the OS. manipulate the OS itself... in that you could manipulate the rc files that the OS depends on (in unix/linux). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
