My thanks to both of you. The explanation was clear even to me,
much better than the book i am using to learn perl.

which book are you trying to learn from?


Several books, in fact. Basic learning to crawl stuff from Perl and CGI by Elizabeth Castro and proper stuff from a book that's just called Perl. I managed to leave it at work so i don't recall the author, but that one is very comprehensive and is clearly written for people who know what they are talking about. My /real/ problem is that object oriented code is a foreign language. My job is with microwave comms hardware and I have no need to do software at all, so an explanation which is plain as day to people who speak the language is far from that to a raw beginner like me. Nevertheless, it is by challenging ourselves that we learn and it is by finding patient souls like this list to nurse us through the process that we survive the learning!
