That happens all the time in our sweet world ... Look at the time it took
me to answer ... :)

OK , i didn't completely figured out that you start from the C tutorial .
That's why there were so many things that shocked me on the Perl point of
view (while valid they looked way too C-ish to me).

I am very much in favor to add Perl specific sections . If you don't use
GTK with Perl for what it's worth , why then use Perl ? Stick to C ! :)

So how do we start ?

Well i think i don't know anything about all these but i hope that with
the source and some patience from you all , i'll know enough to write
things respectfully of your specifications .
