I know it has a lot more power. It is just that I can't do it. I am not even good at Bash. :-)
perl comes with an extensive amount of documentation. Try 'man perl' for an overview. And it is a language that is easy to get started with.
I tried it and I just can't get the hang of it. 'man perl' confuses me more then that it helps me. It is me that can not do it. Some people are good at perl, I am good at thinking up solutions for people who know even less about SUSE or Linux then I do. I am also a person who just has to type in and see what happens, instead of reading and realy learning it. I never could learn from a book and I doubt that will change. So what I mostly do is social engineer my code together. :-) e.g. you see a HOWTO like http://en.opensuse.org/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs#Manually_build_a_DVD_from_the_C... and that you put in a bash script. Then I started to put in a "for" for the booting and copying and started to make it more generic. A bit later added some features. And all this thanks to the many people contributing and sending me correcting code. Thanks. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit.
