I just want to say I'm really glad you posted this. One of the hurdles I'm finding difficult to maneuver around (in learning Perl well) is my lack of a programming background. This has made it more of a problem than I'd like being "creative" in this realm ... and by "creative" I don't really mean coming up with Perl poems -- it's more basic than that, e.g. knowing what questions are worth posing, or knowing /how to ask/ the questions. I think it has to do with a familiarity or comfort (or lack thereof in my case) with the real foundation stones/basics.
So tasks like these really appeal. Thanks!

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).
