I'd like them - I'm putting together a history of computers thing for
my daughter's girl scout troop, and those would be an awesome
addition.

Hi all,
So... say you were going to teach a child (or several children) of
about ten, reasonable technical aptitude, to program using Perl. How
would you go about it? I'm doing some lessons for my daughter and her

chmod 0777, $file || die "That didn't work so well";
I've tried this numerous ways, and yet the file is not chmodding, nor
is the process dying. It's returning a 1, which according to the camel

I use both Python and Perl in my everyday work, and the answer would
have to be "depends on the job." We run a very open shop in regards to
what language can be used, as long as it accomplishes the task, and
