Well, I know the documentation exists, but it does not have sufficient example programs in it. For example, let me show you what I mean. This page talks about the chr() function: https://perldoc.perl.org/functions/chr but if you open it, there is no example program. This is what I would expect an example program to look like: 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

print 'A';        # Prints 'A'

print chr(65);    # Prints 'A'

my $c = 65;
print chr($c);    # Prints 'A'

$_ = 65;
print chr;        # Prints 'A'

An example program or demo program is something that you can just copy and paste, and it works. And it shows you what one particular keyword or function can do and how it's used. The functions are described in the documentation in pretty good detail, but a working example is usually missing.

But thank you, I will study the GitHub link you provided. It looks like it might be what I am looking for, although it's quite messy.
