Please fix your laptop, or get it fixed.  (Please understand that the
beginners*******is not the best resource for fixing your laptop.  I'd
suggest finding a mailing list or forum specific to your laptop's
operating system.)

I am unable to locate TEsco::Kesho on CPAN or Google.  Is it a Perl module?

1.  Which edition do you have -- 1st or 2nd?

3.  Please post the mistakes on the list and perhaps someone can help you.

Pedagogy has it's place, but beginners also need to see that:

1.  Easy things can be easy in Perl.

2.  Perl provides more TIMTOWDI than most other computer programming
languages; this is a design feature.

Rheotorical question -- which program would you rather write?

1.  1,000 lines of assembly.

2.  100 lines of C.

3.  10 lines of Java.

4.  1 line of Perl.
