The full power of Perl is well outside the scope of this document. Looking
in the function list in the section \ref{Problem_LON-CAPA_Functions}
can give you some ideas. O'Reilly has some good Perl books. Enter 
''perl'' in the search box at 
\texttt{http://search.oreilly.com}.

If you need help, you might search the listserv at \\
\texttt{http://mail.lon-capa.org/mailman/swish.cgi} or consider joining the 
users listserv to ask other users for advice at 
\texttt{http://mail.loncapa.org}, or use the Help link to 
contact the Help desk. Often other users are quick to provide help.

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. Supported XML tags are 
discussed in the Tags Used in XML Authoring section (\ref{Authoring_XML_Intro}).
