Glad you figured it out. For future reference try and post an example of something you are having trouble with. Being vague likes this makes it impossible to help you.
This list is an awesome resource. Have a problem and 9 out of 10 times you not only have a solution but you have an understandable explanation. It's like the borg collective ;) Paul Kraus -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Beaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Kipp, James; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mastering "Learning Perl on Win 32 Systems" Mostly the exercises for the chapters on Arrays and Hashes. Hashes killed me! I didn't get any right! It's getting better because I've re-read the chapter and studied my notes again and I actually feel better about it. Sorry for this post! I guess I was venting or something. Ah...I feel much better now... -----Original Message----- From: Paul Kraus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:50 AM To: Anthony Beaman; 'Kipp, James'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mastering "Learning Perl on Win 32 Systems" Give us some examples. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Beaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:46 AM To: Kipp, James; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mastering "Learning Perl on Win 32 Systems" Could I be putting too much stock into the exercises? That's where I'm getting frustrated. For example, I'm treating them as "test" exercises and when I don't get them correct, I deem the chapter a failure, which is silly since there are 2 or 3 questions per chapter. Maybe I should treat them as "examples" instead. -----Original Message----- From: Kipp, James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:40 AM To: Anthony Beaman; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Mastering "Learning Perl on Win 32 Systems" > Any advice on getting through the LP/Win 32 book?

Thanks!! :-) what exactly are you having trouble with? why don't you try writing a script that you think might be useful to you. that is how you really learn how it works -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
