Perl is an opaque language.

A somewhat better treatment (better if for no other reason than that 3
letters are used, not just 2) can be found (in the sidebar) at:

But my view is that this "Just tell me what you really want" attitude to
giving help is short-sighted in a non-professional, not-for-pay
environment like Usenet. I.e., although I sympathize with the sentiment
expressed at both of these URLs (and elsewhere - such as ESR's famous
"smart questions" text), the fact is: it's not *quite* that simple.
