i haven't really got a firm grasp on OO perl, so that example is a bit

Not a problem - save it for some time later.
As I said, pick up

I plopped the funky script into play for the basic
evolution most coders will go through - first
they need to get the four basics
        a. variables
        b. conditionals
        c. iteratives
        d. functions
So I tend to write illustrative skripts in the
way silly form of
        #!/usr/bin/perl
        use strict;
        use warnings;
        my @args = qw/bob ted carol alice/;
        my $retval = some_sub_here(@args);
        sub some_sub_here
        {
                my (...) = @_;
                ....
                $return_thing;
        }
This way they are one step closer to the

	so how do I do my first perl module...

Or some variant on it, because they notice that
a given set of subs can be re-used in N-scripts
and they don't want to have to just cut and paste them.
So to simplify that process, I stepped up and cut a
template where we have most of what would be in the
Foo::Bar module as basic 'template' - and can demonstrate
simple ideas from inside the 'script' without actually
needing the full on external perl module.

ah, so that's what folks are calling that...

I use the strategy of having rules that will park
various mailing lists in different mail folders.
THen as time allows I pick out the ones I find
interesting..
