hello, i am new to perl and this incredible culture that is available to learn how to program using perl. i would like to post questions to experienced users, and sometimes i feel they may be simplistic, and i do not want to abuse the sites. where can i get info on getting my questions to sites like: comp.lang.perl.modules comp.lang.perl.misc i am not yet at the stage where i am ready to upload my own modules for the public... for instance, i have some specific questions wrt. RecDescent Term::ReadLine::Perl Term::ReadKey Term::Cap then some in general, like : i have a need to launch pre-written perl scripts from a simple interactive shell, when requested by a user. they are not known until the interactive session is running. the scripts all share a common hardware resource, whose driver is opened and closed at the start and end of the interactive session. from what i have read, the way to do this is to read an entire script into a variable, and then eval it. is this the best way, or is there a better solution? and so on ... regards, bruce
