in reply to Question of the thing we call "Perl"

I think Perl to me is the next step in enjoying Linux, and turning from a hardware techie to a software techie. I have always wanted to be able to write code, but have always failed due to my two conditions: Dyslexia, and Attention Deficit. Perl has made me concentrate on what is important, just writing any kind of code I like. I also have a problem with authority, but then again who doesn’t?
