Greetings back atcha. I'm inclined to say that "Seekers of Perl Wisdom" at PerlMonks isn't the right place for your particular question, because the "question" is just rhetorical (or flame bait? or self pity? whatever it is, it's ineffective as a request for help).
Now, suppose instead that you were to quote a particular passage from some perl documentation -- maybe even say what you were hoping to accomplish with perl when you decided to look this up and read it -- and then ask what the passage really means. For that sort of question, this is the right place.
Do you have a question of that sort?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
