Consider too that if one excludes the experienced programmer, many
questions will go unanswered or may be answered incompletely or

quite a few tricks.

The Clear Solution would be for PERL to be more
organized in what it is and what it does and hence
more cleanly definable - since clearly there is the
simple dialectic
perl as scripting language v. perl as coding environment
There are the other HORRORS of Perl - beyond the usual simplistic
'OO' v. Proceduralist wars - such as
perl as WebStuff
perl as DBI_STUFF
perl as TheSysAddsHelper
perl as p5ee - the enterprise edition required to mix
and match interfaces to legacy and future technologies.
Hence while JoeBobPerler may be a Wiz at one side of the Perl
Space - they may not even know about <thingieWidgetClassWonder>
and so is a 'beginner' there....
As some note - there is 'much' that is 'taken for granted'
about the underlying technology that is the 'computing environment'
hence the technical differences between files and directories,
file descriptors and file names..... and... and....
so if one wishes to play amongst the advanced, there is always
the perl monastary....
