I'm learning Perl. I'm using a flash card software program on my PDA to help build my Perl "vocabulary". It's great because I can study Perl and learn it cold without lugging around huge books. I'm also doing this because I seem to think more clearly with english language symbols instead of very terse, abstract programming symbols.

For instance, one of my flash card entries is "list constructor operator". Then, when I press a button, the following gets revealed: 

Definition: two scalar values separated by two consecutive periods

Notes: (1 .. 5)            # same as (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
(1.2 .. 5.2)        # same as (1.2, 2.2, 3.2, 4.2, 5.2)
(2 .. 6,10,12)      # same as (2,3,4,5,6,10,12)
($a .. $b)          # range determined by current values of $a and $b

I would definitely be interested in sharing my work on the web here at Perl monks. I think it would be of great value to both Perl Monks and Newbies. Where do I start investigating how to make this happen?
