My copy of Macperl Power and Ease just arrived this afternoon! Why is it 
that awaiting the arrival of a new computer item automatically slows the 
passing of time and makes the mailman scarce?

I'm a complete Perl newbie as well. I've been lurking on this list for a 
couple of months and don't understand most of what I'm reading either, 
but I'm hopeful that will come to make sense soon. I hope the wise Perl 
elders of the list are helpful to us newbies and won't run off and create 
their own list of "experts" and leave us newbies in the lurch. I'm 
certainly looking forward to this learning experience and the day when 
some of the example scripts posted to the list make a bit more sense.
