I've skipped pretty much all this thread so far, but I do need to point out 
that perl isn't targeted at beginning programmers, or beginning perl 
programmers. It's targeted at experienced programmers. If you learn a 
language you're a beginner once, and for a little while, but you end up 
experienced for a much longer time.

Perl has lots of stuff that'll trip up beginners. That's OK. People are 
clever, and they can learn.
