Advanced features

Now that you are familiarized with the base language and converter usage you might want to learn more about the features of PerlPoint. And there are more, as in this regard it is similar to Perl: it is easy to start with while having powerful features for the advanced user.

Please note that for didactical reasons there had to be a point to start the "advanced" section, but not all of the following parts are comparably complex. Just pick the chapters that sound interesting to you, or read on chapter by chapter.

The general approach of PerlPoint remains the same for advanced topics: it tries to make usage as intuitive as possible.
