I have been belting my head against the wall over my last problem for about three monthes now.
You all try to help, However I am just a almost 60 year old
man trying to belive he can learn perl.
Mostly your answeres are to complicated for me .
However you know what they say about persistance.

    Hello nasa. I just wanted to say that i for one believe that you can learn Perl. To use the old "pun as a link", Can you teach a new dog an old trick? Yes you can. You hit the nail on the head ... it takes persistance. That's how i learned what Perl that i know today, and that's what's going to keep me learning ... persistance. (Perl provides the interest for me ;)) Keep on truckin!

      I like to think that it takes persistence.

      Sometimes I just can't believe the illiteracy.
