Hey chek this:

I had a great idea last night, why not have a tutorial section for Perl converts. There are fundamental differences between Perl and most other languages, so I thought it would be useful for people to see how common things in other languages can be achieved in Perl. I know a lot of things are down to simple semantics, grammar and operators, but these are the things most people have trouble with when moving to another language.

I personally think I would be a great idea, but I have only a limited knowledge of Java, C and Perl. So the donkey work is down to the rest of you, but think how the monks could be edified with your help!
