Hi all. Started learning perl and unix yesterday thanks to this site primaraly. So thanks in advanced for the hair loss. :). Few simple questions atm. 1) I have perl5 installed how ever I can not use the perldoc command with out getting the <command not found> error. 2)Can perl be used to develope games and would it be a better choice than C++ or Java as I am currently learning those languages also. 3)I know nothing about HTML how would I go about adding a newline here. So ? 1 2 and 3 whould start on a seperate line instead of being concatenated as in this post. Thanks for any help or links you could provide about these?
A slap a day keeps the wife and kids away :)
