By the time I'd sent my mail Michael had replied, but anyway...

*nodding* yup, I get that, I just feel I'd be able to get a bit more out of
it if I had a little bit of prior knowledge (so far I've just learned
whatever I need to know to get the job at hand done). For example, I
haven't used tied variables before and don't know how to use them. Nor have
I used closures, but I'm a bit more clued up on that now =)

*nodding* of course! I'm sure it would be much less interesting if everyone
knew what was going on ;)

Will do. I was just unsure of what was going on as it was my first
Belfast.pm meeting.

Cheers,
Russell
