- Two questions please:
-
- 1) MPWPerl has a 411 info help file but I did not get any index nor
- can I find an 'indexer' program on my ETO CD-ROM. Does anyone know
- how to make the index or where it can be obtained?
-
- 2) I am a serious AWK programmer of some years. I am having a
- little difficulty getting into Perl (mostly due to time constraints)
- but I have this belief that Perl is AWK only (a whole lot?) better.
-
- Is this about right? Will I be disappointed? Or is this so an
- incredibly naive question that impugns Perl?
