Exactly what I meant. Not that I used perl much, but I started looking at
Perl/Python at around the same time - I read a couple of books on Python
(Learning Python, Python Quick Reference etc), and skimmed very briefly through "Learning Perl", but I have to say that I have learnt a *lot* from reading FAQs, and perls way of doing it seemed attractive to me from a Python perspective.

I would probably say so too, I was thinking of going through some of them
and coding the equivalents in Python just to firm up my experience of
Python. (Don't use either at work, just studied them in my spare time) But
then it occurred to me that it might already exist somewhere out there.
