Re: Perldoc for Non-Computer People

I would like to give a deeply heartfelt thank you to all of you who answered my qustion. I was honestly expecting half the answers to say something like "you are just too stupid to learn Perl", instead I found people who honestly wanted to help.

I am definitely going to check out the books that you have recomended.

Also, as a personal aside: I am glad that none of you answered with that cryptic "u r 1337" stuff that you see on almost every other website. have yet to learn to translate any of that.

Once again, thank you all very much.

Tony

Hi Tony, yeah, I hate all of that 21st century "txt" slang too. It seems to me that a lot of those people graduated from mobile phones to computers and still type with their thumbs. I don't mind the occasional "imho" or smileys though, as they can moderate what might otherwise be taken as arrogance (imho I probably should have added a smiley to my first statement. Oh well, prepare to be downvoted ;-). Bill H `perl -e 'print sub { "Hello @{[shift]}!\n" }->("World")'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
