index-type help files for things like the XML editor screen (where
there's nothing to hook help to).

\label{Scripting_Help} The full power of Perl is well outside the scope of this document. Looking in the function list at \\ http://mileva.lite.msu.edu/loncapadocs/homework/homework5.html \\ can give you some ideas. O'Reilly has some good Perl books. The Perl 5 Pocket Reference will contain more than what you need to know to use LON-CAPA, available at \\ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/perlpr3/ . If you have any problems, consult http://help.loncapa.org/fom/cache/5.html . If you don't find the answer to your problem, please help us expand the FAQ by submitting a new pending question. Our advanced users often come to prefer the XML interface for the problems, available through the \textbf{EditXML} buttons. Covering the XML format is beyond the scope of this manual, but you can learn a lot by using the editor to make changes and seeing what happens to the XML.
