yep. It also comes down to whether you (or your job function) meet the need or want. Personally, I find that learning comes from want, not need though. > I agree that had I mastered references most of the things I have created > in Perl would have > been really easy to create instead I always looked for ways to bypass my > need to use references! ...and I'm certain (disclaimer: I Am Not A Programmer) that your code probably does trickery that resembles spaghetti, or that you'll regret later. > You were right I was actually putting references off (was going to learn > them *later*).

Whether that is a good thing or not is not for me to decide. It's something that you need to decide. However, if you have a solid foundation, focusing on references will expand your Perl world exponentially. I can promise you that. > Lets see why I cannot ingrain them in my head.

The archives know who they are. Thank them. Nonetheless, if you found what I said to be motivational, I'll allow myself to feel good about it ;) Cheers!
