I am working on an extremely basic manual as a technical writing project. It's got to basic because I am just learning perl myself. Is that chutspa or what? as a technical writer though, I think that the writing I've seen about Perl is like Perl. It is extremely concise. it probably works fine for switch over C programmers, but I'd like something for the rank beginner. i'm hoping I can create it. janis > >BTW, how about a call for volunteers for making a decent manual? >(I'm not saying I will volunteer, I'm just suggesting things ;^) > >-- >See <http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~reriksso/> for mantra, disclaimer, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JG Fine Art Photography http://www.sirius.com/~jg2525/jgdir/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
