Sounds familiar... % % What is the best way for me to lean perl? Up against a sturdy wall, preferably at an angle of 45 to 65 degrees. Meanwhile, go and get the camel book, Programming Perl, sit down and read it a bit, and then keep it as a reference as you write everything new or convert everything old in perl instead of *sh. Once you get the hang of writing in perl (how for and while loops work; variable scope; subroutines; file and IO handling), then you can go and explore CPAN as your rich source of already-written modules that do cool things for you, saving you time, or show you how such things are done, teaching you new tricks. % % Phil HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
