Finally! We are starting to send out tips. We can't promise that they'll go out daily, but they'll go out. :-) What's the difference between "perl" and "Perl"? "One bit. Oh, you weren't talking ASCII? :-) Larry now uses "Perl" to signify the language proper and "perl" the implementation of it, i.e. the current interpreter. Hence Tom's quip that "Nothing but perl can parse Perl." You may or may not choose to follow this usage. For example, parallelism means "awk and perl" and "Python and Perl" look OK, while "awk and Perl" and "Python and perl" do not. But never write "PERL", because perl isn't really an acronym, apocryphal folklore and post-facto expansions notwithstanding." This is from the Perl FAQ distributed with perl. The next tip will be about how to use the perldoc system to get quick help and access the reference documentation.
