      triggered by the phrase "just tell me", and its second
      response is triggered by being directly asked "perlfunc?":
  
         can someone tell me what: $num9 =
                  substr($number,9,1); means
  
         eesh -- man perlfunc, look at "substr".

         Didn't your momma ever tell you, "Go
                  look it up in the dictionary"?!
  
         eesh -- no.   that's all we'll tell
                  you.   read the documentation.
  
         eesh -- if you haven't man pages or
                  perldoc, you can read them on the 'net.
  
         purl, perlfunc?
  
         well, perlfunc is Perl builtin
                  functions, at man perlfunc or
