Believe me, I have. Understanding it is another. My C/Asm days are long behind me (or were anyway). There's quite a bit to take in and with so many macros and things that functionally aren't documented (or at least I haven't been able to find them), it's rather daunting.

On the "guts" side, it's more tinkering than programming. Sort of like when as a kid I took apart my Omega Supreme to see how it worked. It still worked but he never walked the same again.

I hope to eventually get the kind of hold on Perl innards as I do on the outside but I think it's going to take me quite a bit of time.
