I have a similar need and also a few other small **projects** that I'd like
to do and Perl seems to be the solution (please - no **religious** wars about
all the other tools available out there, although I am willing to learn). My
problem seems to be that, if anything, there's too much documentation out
there. In the man directory, there are no less than 44 man documents and I
don't know where to start.
What I'd really like (if someone can point me in the right direction) is a
beginners tutorial - starting from **Hello world** and simple file I/O, so I
could get started. I've programmed in lots of different languages and this
seems to be a common problem. The documentation will often tell you how to do
any complicated task you want to, but it's often implicitely assumed that you
know how to open a file, read, write, etc. So a task like parsing my e-mail is
probably not that difficult, but the sad fact is tha I don't even know how to
read the file and get the data into the program :-)
Alternately, if anyone would be willing to send me a few sample scripts - it
doesn't really matter what they do - so long as they do some file manipulation
or I/O. And if they're **commented** that would be good too.
TIA
