Indeed, that "tutorial" is beyond bad. You gave up -- quite understandably -- before noting this gem (in a section called "PERL - Define A Hash"):
print "Content-type: text/html \n\n"; #HTTP HEADER #DEFINE SOME ARRAYS %coins = ("Quarter", 25, "Dime", 10, "Nickle", 5); %ages = ("Jerry", 45, "Tom", 22, "Vickie", 38); #PRINT MY HASHES TO THE BROWSER print "%coins"; print "<br />"; print "%ages";
Geez. I'm sure the noobs will have a swell time with that example (especially in light of everything they've "learned" up to that point).

In response to Lady_Aleena's concerns, I think it'll be better not to draw any further attention to sites like this; even citing them for how bad they are just gets them more attention, which probably moves them perversely higher in the google rankings, and encourages the feeble-minded diletantes who create this kind of doggerel to keep it up.
