By subculture, I meant here on perlmonks we're getting a lot of beginner questions centered around bioinformatics where traditionally most of our beginner questions have been from web developers.

Please don't think I was directing my remarks directly at you. I'm sure your perl and programming skills are much better than my bio skills. I was just curious as to how much informatics was being combined with the bio part. You've set me straight and for that I thank you.

So please continue to ask any questions you have but really take a look at that book. It will help you understand idiomatic perl better.
