Yep, it will be. I've been using one of Schwartze's books on Learning Perl which gives a brief but solid introduction into many aspects of using Perl-with some good end of chapter test questions to help the learning process.

Passing anything to a sub, much less out of it, still causes me a lot of study to understand what I need to do :-).

I'll certainly look into the Learning Perl Objects...book.

Thanks for the help!
