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.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
