	Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications. Perl is nicknamed "the Swiss Army chainsaw of programming languages" due to its flexibility and power. It is also referred to as the "duct tape that holds the Internet together", in reference to its ubiquity and perceived inelegance.

	The ~~perl~~ study group is basically to get people introduced to using ~~perl~~. We are going to do this by helping you write your first program, whatever that might be. If you are extremely new to programming you should start with something simple like single player poker game while more advanced users can make multi player networked games and other applications. There will be people with varying levels of programming experience in ~~perl~~ and other languages. We will use ~~perl~~ 5 and whatever text editor you are comfortable with.
