I think Perl actually made me a better C programmer, but it is sometimes
frustrating going down to the level of C. Keep your hand
cool beans, thanks. wow, perl is neat, but i fear it will make me a bad c
programmer...;)
so i guess there is no concept of stack and heap space when dealing with perl?
just that memory will stay allocated as long as there is a way to reach it?
hehe, i can't wait to abuse that fact;)

Chris,
I'll take a stab at this to see if my understanding of Perl is correct.
