Thanks to the wonderful one sentence explanation, and patience of Cheryl, I have learned to Nalbind :)

#!/usr/bin/perl
print ´Hello world!´;

I am so glad I can have a proper go at last :)

It isn't. It really isn't anything like as complicated as I thought it was ;)

Those can be the most difficult to figure out sometimes. I've been on both ends of that on occasion.
