I should note, I definitely *do not* know the best way or all the ways
to do this in Perl, the list I've created is a basic comparison of
how to do things. The 'read a file' in Perl isn't my way, someone
emailed the code to me, I didn't know how to do it that way until
yesterday ;)  and of course I'm coming from UserTalk to Perl...

Just hoping to teach myself and others...
