I'm trying to convince a friend to give up awk, and use perl instead.
He replies: "Give me 10-20 simple examples, like in the awk books!"

He just want to get started directly, and not read the manual.
(Always the same problem when you use something, and don't have the
time to learn something new.)

So, is there someone who has stumbled on this problem and have
made some simple examples? (I just don't want to reinvent something :-)
