    ties from the latest release of Perl (5.004).

    Besides having already taken a course in beginning Perl pro-
    gramming  or  having  read  the  Learning  Perl  book  from
    O'Reilly, students should also have already  used  Perl  for
    basic  scripting  for several months previous to taking this

    Unix system are also assumed.
