I'm in the process of learning perl (hmm - right at the beginning of this
process), and I'm having great difficulty working my way through the man
pages. I'm a Windows user and perl is the first language I'm learning, so
*everything* is new to me. I am also having to get to grips with using my
shell account which is just adding to the difficulties.

What would really make my life easier right now is a glossary of programming
specific terms so that I'm not struggling to find meanings for the
terminology used in some of the man pages (specifically I'm trying to work
my way through man screen) every other word. Does such a glossary exist? I'm
aware of the Jargon Files and I'm aware that many of these terms have man
pages of their own (but my entire reason for reading man screen is to learn
how to have different windows open with different things going on in each
window!).

Thank you for all your help,

Karen
