in reply to What is the best way to master perl
Do your homework (and read my whole node) and take good notes too!
Surely you realize you're not the first to ask this question
From my memory: Reading other people's modules and codes, What language should I learn? , Where Do I Go Next?, How to read CPAN documentation,Web Programming: For Beginners
From davidos memory: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years
From the flip side: Teaching Perl: http://perl-tutorial.org/, http://learnpythonthehardway.org/, Learning Perl the Hard Way, Why I Am Not A Java Programmer, What Perl Programmers Should Know About Java, Are there any Java texts assuming the user has a perl BG?
From the search:
[what best perl] what best perl -> roots only ?node_id=3989;HIT=what%20best%20perl;re=N
ick, antiques :) ?node_id=3989;HIT=what%20best%20learn;re=N -> what is the best way to learn to program?
remove stopword what :) ?node_id=3989;HIT=best%20learn;re=N
where title contains all of "best", "learn"
You can continue like that until you find all the best nodes relevant to your query
a different stopword :) ?node_id=3989;HIT=how%20learn;re=N
where title contains all of "how", "learn"
There!
