in reply to RFC: How to succeed with your Perl homework

My firs course at U of T, early 80s, we had to use ed under a restricted shell ... that's the commands from vi without the full-screen aspect. I think you should make them all do the same, uphill both ways in the snow!

Otherwise, looks great ... though I'm dubious anyone programming for the first time will be ready for map{}.

As Occam said: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem.
