Hi, [id://HughBris]. It's difficult to use perldoc, true. It's written in a somewhat foreign language, using various terms of art that are baffling to a newcomer. But what you're asking is similar to an English-speaker asking how to learn Spanish, without having to learn all those foreign words.

I don't know the percentages, but a large number of the monks here learned programming on their own, and not through formal training. Certainly, not "everyone else on this site" has a degree in computer science.

Finally, I question your claim of understanding only "little words". Your handle suggests otherwise.
