Just the FAQs

Jon Orwant told me that everyone wants to write super-impressive guru articles for The Perl Journal, and that hardly anyone contributes articles aimed at beginners. So I thought I'd help out by writing a few articles for novices; they're appearing under the Just the FAQs title in the Perl Journal.

• Summer 1998: Understand References Today

  This article turned into the perlreftut manual page, distributed with versions of Perl starting with 5.005_02.

• Autumn 1998: Suffering from Buffering?
• Winter 1998: Coping with Scoping
• Spring 1999: There was no `Just the FAQs' this time.
• Summer 1999: None this month either.
• Autumn 1999: Precedence Problems

If you'd like to request that I write a beginner article on some topic, please send me mail.
