I think everyone is missing my point (or I'm just way off base on this one).
There is no *good* BEGINNERS FAQ available, is there? The FAQs on perl.com are the same that are available in the distribution that are available from the perldoc command --- which are next-to-useless for a true beginner (which is who this list is trying to serve). My point about the Roman Numerals is... How many times has someone asked that question on this list? Russell J Foster Subject, Wills, & Company e.
