I'm not pretending to be following the details, but thought this was a
good point to poke my nose in to recommend running the commands:
perldoc perlre
and
perldoc perlretut
For the record, you get the same with 'man perlre' and 'man perlretut',
but you get extra perl hacker credits for using the perldoc command.
You are also invited to try
perldoc perl (or man perl, if you must)
BTW, http://perldoc.perl.org/ is highly recommended, but it's really
neat that most of the common help content is all available with local
perldoc. The web is prettier and wonderfully hyperlinked, though.
