There's lots of good stuff on szabgab's site https://perlmaven.com/. Not free, but davorg's Perl Taster eBook doesn't cost much (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perl-Taster-Your-First-Hours-ebook/dp/B077MB1LH1) & might be appropriate.

Thanks, these links are indeed great! :)

But I should have been more precise in what kind of eLearning I expect.

I'm looking for some interactive training, best with proficiency levels which are reached by solving little tasks.

hi,

Maybe http://exercism.io/?

I would say less interactive training more solving little exercises.

It's a pitty that Perl is not available on https://www.codewars.com/ or something similar.

Sure, it is recommended. But it's probably not the kind of (interactive) resource that Rolf was looking for.

When I wrote my post I've overlooked that Rolf is looking for some interactive resource, therefore the update.
Sorry for the confusion.

I took into it and it's a concise , orthogonal description of the recommended parts of Perl. If your already an experienced hacker this is the right overwiew.

Don't think I can put it into a beginners hand.

I know you asked for interactive resources, but I wanted to share that when I've been asked to do Perl courses in the past, I typically followed the table of contents of Learning Perl and winged it. Skipped some stuff, took the time to make sure they had a concept down, left them with a bunch of exercises I made up that were relevant to the work we were doing.

Hope it helps. If not, didn't cost you much. :-)

Good strategy

But I dunno, exercises are boring while work is interesting

unless you're dealing with actual beginner programmers who need to do every single exercise cause they haven't computers before,

I wouldn't lecture/exercise past an hour or two with perlintro

Have them read perlintro, go over one or two sample programs, answer any questions about that document

Then give them a copy of Modern Perl and Learn Perl in about 2 hours 30 minutes and perlfaq and

Then have them do actual work, write programs to solve actual work related problems

here is the problem guys ... for this task you'll need doc://split , doc://File::Find::Rule, perldoc://Path::Tiny ... if you're stuck refer to the docs/faqs/books ... We'll meet back here in 3 hours for snacks and code review / q'n'a session

While they the students are writing the programs, you the teacher write the test suite, maybe your own solution of the problem if you've the time and the next actual work problem that needs solving

Then 3 hours later, code review that program together, be the best interactive eLearning LanX you can , get them on the right track and the company style, plug the knowledge holes, have them finish well

Then repeat
