So you want to write idiomatic perl.  You might want to check out the 
book "Effective Perl Programming" by Joseph N. Hall and Randal Schwartz. 
  You can likely pick-up all the idioms from other books and the perl 
faq, but I'm a big Joseph Hall fan so I'll plug his book.  IMO idiomatic 
just means concise and efficient.

I was lucky enough to attend two of his talks at an early (@CMU I guess) 
YAPC.  Maybe you can find the foils online.  One was on idiomatic perl 
or effective perl programming I think, the other was OO Perl.  I think 
some other perl guru gave an idiomatic perl talk at a later YAPC.

If I ever get to another meeting I'll bring the book (no you cannot 
have/borrow it!) and those foils if I can find them.
