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?
