Neat-o.

Good that you mention regular expressions, but I think that what is missing in that paragraph, is a mention of hashes. In layman's terms, that could be described as "string indexed arrays", while the old name "associative arrays" is good as a set of keywords for a search in online documentation.

    Good point. If I recall, the paragraph comes in well under the 125 words limit, so the OP should have no trouble incorporating it if he decides any of it was worth having.

    Examine what is said, not who speaks.

    The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
