Kind of OT for this mailing list but...

What you just ran into is why I recommend to *anybody*, even the most
experienced of designers/engineers/coders/what-have-you, that they
start with "Learning Perl."  (Also an O'Reilly book.)  Saves no end of
grief ;).

IMO, "Programming Perl" is mainly useful after you already have a good
handle on the language.
