The "perlre" the traditional documentation came with Perl isn't really a beginers guide or a tutorial. For that you need to see the "perlrequick" guide that ships with perl 5.8.0. http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlrequick.pod Then you need to go onto the full blown tutorial that is "perlretut" http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/pod/perlretut.pod All praise Mark Kvale for his hard work here. Mark. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -T use strict; use warnings; print q{Mark Fowler, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://twoshortplanks.com/};
