I am interested.
A couple of years ago, Perl enabled me to undertake an involved and
otherwise-prohibitive transformation in the formatting of a large number
of documents. Of course, the trade-off was many hours spent in learning
Perl (from "square one") versus the countless hours which would have
been required in tedious and error-prone manual labour and proofreading.
Now I need to do something similar, but I haven't touched Perl since the
previous project. I dread all the study which is going to be necessary,
but without Perl I could not hope to undertake the project.
So a refresher would be welcome.
