Hi,
Good luck with this project.
Once you have a test environment either on your unix box or PC, I would take a copy of the code and start going through it line by line, making LOTS of comments/note as you go. You do not have to become a Perl Geru by October 31st just a geru of your program.
To find out how lines or sections work try pulling them out to small test scripts and pass them variables which you feel will test the code. The -w and use strict should be used here as well. Their messages are very useful.
Hope this helps,

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
