I recently bought the "Mac Perl Power and Ease" book in an attempt to begin learning perl. I find the book to be helpful as a general introduction, but I have not yet been able to find an example that would help me solve an immediate problem. Having been subscribed to this list for a few days it is apparent that the topics are quite beyond a "novice" level. So.. I have two questions. First does anyone have a recommedation for resources (e.g. other books or other mailing lists) for novices to help get up to speed? Second can anyone tell me where to find a basic example script that opens a text file, finds and replaces some text, and saves a copy under another name? Thanks.
