You would be better off in IRC for quick questions. These mailing lists 
go to a lot of people, so lots of small beginner questions that aren't 
exactly on topic (this isn't a PERL list) will just annoy people. In IRC 
you will likely get a faster response, and thousands of people will be 
spared the 20+ emails that have been generated from your discussion so far.

I would recommend EFNet or Freenode, as I've found lots of helpful folks 
on those networks.

are kind, intelligent people out there who are willing and happy to just
answer questions politely that are asked politely?  I guess we can't all
have your flare for life!

Go spread your cheer in the grumpy user group. (and I'm being nice)  There
are nice people out there who are willing to help me out.  Some people just
want/need a little help with certain things.  Why did you become a member of
this group?

Besides, I have a useless Perl book.

Can anyone please help me with a short example Perl script that will

There must be a Perl expert out there somewhere who can help me?
