This tutorial could have more examples, as it is not that easy to grasp what is going on without *seeing* it work.

        If you want more examples, simply read the perldocs! You can find them in the Library if you don't have them on your own machine (although you should since you have Perl, ...right?) :)

        It's just a typo in the table, but the last description says "at lease i times and at most j times." It should be "at least i times and at most j times." Ben Schilling
