perlfaq1 - General Questions About Perl perlfaq2 - Obtaining and Learning about Perl perlfaq3 - Programming Tools perlfaq4 - Data Manipulation perlfaq5 - Files and Formats perlfaq6 - Regular Expressions perlfaq7 - General Perl Language Issues perlfaq8 - System Interaction perlfaq9 - Web, Email and Networking
