Herein lies a collection of perl toys, tricks, and traps.

Each area has scripts that are hopefully appropriate to the title of the area. There are, of course, some crossover items, which could possibly be considered (strictly) instructional or informative, and there may be some duplication. Tough Beans, as they say.

This area is currently being updated and html-ified.
