[Omaha.pm] New to Perl-ing

[griffinheart@go.com]

Greetings all.  

I'm new to Perl and somewhat new to programming in general.

I'm working on a compression program and believe I have the theory 
behind it worked out.

I was wondering, however, whether Perl could support the extended 
ASCII chart (256 symbols) or not.
If Perl can't, I might have to find a new language to do what I'm 
trying.

Thanks for your time
