The thing is, the answers to all your questions are in the
documentation. You just need to know the Python names for things, and
not the Perl names. For instance, Python calls it's associative array
structure a dictionary, and a checking the documentation index for
dictionary turns up a link to the syntax for declaring one as
display/dictionary.
Read through the tutorial. Then look through some "interesting"
modules in the standard library to see how these things fit together.

I guess I'll just do that. I'll put the frustration in a bag, grab the
documentation and try to figure it out.<br>

Thanks all.<br>
