Sorry, perl.j, because in this and some of your other posts, I see (well, 'infer') an effort to learn "more" (for some large value of "more") about Perl, but - - for posting yet another question that could be answered by a bit of your own research (...and a whale of a lot of study).

And perhaps it didn't occur to you, but while an answer to your first question is not all that verbose, a decent answer to the second would occupy a fair-sized library.

Also important: you'd probably learn a lot more (including some gotchas, exceptions, tangential facts, etc) by doing your own research and study.

So, extending the reply above, you will profit from reading and learning from perldoc perltoc (which, with any reasonable install, should exist on your local machine).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
