I'm quite keen to learn PERL. My second impression reading through the documentation provided with the MSDOS port is that it really helps if you're already familiar with C and UNIX (as luck would have it, my experience is with fortran and VMS) (my first impression was that PERL is as good as I've heard it is). I gather this group has no Frequently Asked Questions yet. Can anyone suggest reading material to come up to speed with PERL? Thanks! -- NAME: Dr. M.
