And even if there are drivers which claim to support your hardware, the amount of time it takes to persuade them to drive your hardware, not leave your serial or USB ports horked, and continue working after your laptop wakes from slumber (if you can get it to go to sleep and wake up again in the first place!) - well, all those wasted hours are worth enough money for you to have just gone and bought a Mac. On which you can then use perl to your heart's content.
I've wasted too much time on Linux, sound, video, power management, USB, PCMCIA and other arcana in the past. Linux is *not* ready for portable use, and only barely suitable for wizards' desktops.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
