Fair enough, it happens.
My advice to beginners is read the posting guidelines for this newsgroup
and stay here.
If you ask the occasional question that is off-topic or is a FAQ or is

a helpful but brusque answer. (Maybe just a pointer to the relevant

Thanks for the response... Sorry, I didn't read the FAQ close
enough... I somehow missed that...
By the way, do you have a recommendation for a good newsgroup for
begineers?
I will read up on what is a shallow copy...
Thanks again.

The newsgroup comp.lang.perl ceased to exist some time in the previous
millenium. I suggest you break into your NNTP server admin's office and
remove the skeleton.
If you unroll it into a list yes, but see FAQ "How can I pass/return a

Pass a reference to the hash. For details, have a look at:

Hi,
Another newbie question...
I have to write a program that process a huge amount of data; the end
results will be a number of different reports. I will prefer to write
a separate library/perl script for each of the reports to
separate/isolate them into their own files... However, how do I "pass"

Thanks John....
I am sorry, I missed that... I don't know where I was in the
internet... I was looking for GDGraph-boxplot and the description only
mentioned windows for this...
Thanks a lot....

You mean you can't find rpms (or something like it) for it?
Go to CPAN, download the source (e.g. [link]
~gaffer/GDGraph-boxplot-1.00/ and click on download), and make it:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(from the top of my head)

I originally wasn't able to find any software like what I mentioned
above on Google or Sourceforge.net, but I just tried another site that
I heard about, [link], and saw a few open source Internet
cafe programs.
I'm looking through those now.
In any case, I'm still interested in finding out the answers to those

I am just starting to learn Perl. I had an idea that there should be
free open-source Internet Cafe management software for Linux. I
searched around online but couldn't find anything. The program would
be appealing to anyone wanting to offer Internet access to their
customers, from Internet Cafes to hotels. Who wants to pay hundreds or

Hi,
I wanted to use the modules GDGraph-boxplot and GDGraph-XY to generate
boxplot and scatterplots. I am using my PC (windows2000) as a
development machine, but the production box is Linux. It seems that
these modules are not available in Linux.
What are my options? I am new to the perl world, but I have a perl
