Yo. Don't feel alone as a "newbie" (the word I hate) to Perl. I'm also a "newbie". I relize how hard it is to answer some of these questions. All I have to say to you is to keep your head up fellow monk. And more power to you using the documentation. Never feel alone in the Perl world. Perlmonks is your home for as long as you make it your home. I think I learned about 50% of what I know from Perl from here (the rest is from "Programming Perl, 3rd Edition from Saint Larry Wall). So I encourage you to continue your journey and as one good monk said to me before... "I hope you enjoy you stay". May your stay be plesent and filled with joy.
One person can change the corse of history. One person can destroy the human race. That one person is out there, I intend to find him.

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.
