Just get the Llama and work it through and you'll get it. Apart from regular expressions and weird stuff like the $_ automatic variable it's not that different from other languages and these things are optional. One you learn regex you'll realise it's worth the terrible syntax. All other languages I know have regular expressions built in these days, but in Perl it's really part of the language. http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596101053/ Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
