textbooks to be sold at high prices to unwilling students

Hah! That actually reminded me that the head of our school's CS department had an O'Reilly Perl book he offered to give to me since it was just sitting on his shelf doing nothing...

That’s purely up to you, isn”t it? It’s your program ...

The thing that I probably left out was that I'm new to perl modules and CPAN... As well as how very oddly perl handles the concepts of objects and scalar variables, stuff like the perlboot tutorial: (just takes getting used to I guess) 
   1.  $a = "Class";
   2. $a->method(@args);

Really put me up side down!

I think I'm going to get tired of defining a new class every single time I wanted to add a new character... but I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to start out with that.
