<snip>
Things that make Perl easier to learn: Unix experience, almost any kind^^^
of programming experience, an understanding of regular expressions, and
the ability to understand other people's code. If there's something you
need to do, then it's probably already been done, and a working example
is usually available for free. Don't forget the new perl modules,
They aren't exactly 'new' any more :).

Many users now operate their own computers day in and day out on various
applications without ever writing a program. Indeed, many of these users
cannot write new programs for their machines...
