We entered the net just after 'perl' was posted, and I have seen
it's discussion since.  What does 'perl' actually do?  

Please MAIL replies to me, don't use bandwith to tell everybody else,
what they probably already know.  If somebody asks me, I will forward
the replies (or post a follow-up if there is interest).

Thnx
