Right :-)

I have to explain them both, the high-level thing and the gory details. However, I consider that, for the sake of understanding, it would be appropiate to give an approach to the project keeping in mind that these guys have only programmed with VB (the "who" factor). And, furthermore, I can't trust them to know some of the details I otherwise would risk to leave unknown.

Okay, they are programmers and stuff, but I just don't have enough *time* to give them an introductory course to Perl, and, then, show the project. I have to make them understand how it works, keeping in mind that they know nearly nothing of this (and yes, I've already talked to them and given them some docs ;P). Therefore, comparing some concepts to VB is the only way I can think of to do it shortly... hope it works.

Thanks for the interest!
