Hello **8, > port exisitng Perl scripts to Python.. Learn Perl to kill it ?!?! what a sad task ;) No really, your goal has to be much more difficult: let them love Perl while you teach it to them à la Diderot and Lavoisier Anyway, it depends a lot on the perl you must to port, but for the basic understandanding I strongly suggest to follow The ModernPerl Book as it explains Perl peculiarities and dark corners too, in a fresh, modern way. If they already know some rpogramming language it will be easy to understand. The incipit is exactly a gem for your needs:
I have a little scaffold in my bibliotheca about learning and teaching Perl. L*
There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
