A couple of days ago I wrote an entry titled Problem Learning Perl. It was a bit embarrassing and probably whiny but I got solid results from it. A number of people were kind enough to reply explaining the things I was having trouble with. I thank them all again.
I found out several informative facts about Perl and how to use it. I also found out something about myself. I am visually-impaired Perlwise. What I see and what is written are not actually the same in some cases(maybe in many cases, I haven't asked about everything that puzzles me).
The reason for the impairment is partly the languages I have used in the past. In all of them spacing is important. In Cobol, nothing runs together. This is a new concept that is still foggy for me. I am slowly learning what 'free-form' actually means.
The rest of my problem is me. Like a lot of people, I see what I want to see and I can be pretty stubborn about it. I can change my view of Perl by study and hard work. I am not so sure changing me will be that easy.
I want to thank htoug and jbisbee for becoming Fans. The concept of Fans is very strange to me, but I do appreciate the fact.
I would be nice to have had a feature like Notify me of every new journal except the ones I specifically don't want, but becvoming a fan of (nearly) everyone does almost the same, and sends a nice signal to the journaliser (or whatever you call the one who write the journal).
