I'm knee deep in the water, it feels great, and I want to go scuba diving.

Part of seeing more of the ocean is to accept that you have to wear different equipment in different areas. The stuff that feels free and easy when diving in Florida will kill you when you fix oil rigs.

Less pictorial: I don't think Perl can teach you all about programming. No programming language can do this. It is neither reasonable to expect this of Perl, nor of this community.
