John, Here's a suggestion before you get too deeply embedded in Perl. Take a
look
at Ruby.

http://www.rubycentral.com/book/index.html
and
http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/

It has all of Perl's regexp functionality and is tremendously nicer to use
and to maintain.
It has all the good ideas of Perl and Python put together, plus some more.
Beautiful language.

Best,
:-)Bernie
