( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
:) I only made the comment because it seemed that you were thoughtful enough to actually care to learn the whys and not just the hows. Glad to see my humor/advice wasn't wasted. Honestly, digging into the perldocs, though intimidating at first (certanly was for me), will really open your eyes to the Perl way. The perldocs are an important part of separating the script kiddies from the determined seekers of wisdom.

One of the best things I ever did toward learning what little I already know was to load the docs into my PDA in HTML format so that I could use it as a digital reference book. Somehow that works better for me than sitting at the notebook reading them. I refer to them often; at least as often as the Camel book.

References are also intimidating at first. I had enough background in C (with pointers) to catch the general concepts quickly, but I'm still all thumbs with things like creating objects. But hopefully a little more fiddling and reading, and I'll gain some better perspective in that area as well.

Keep up the learning process. Though I can't speak for the Monastery, I can speak for myself in saying I always welcome questions that are accompanied by an actual desire to understand the subject, and that make me think. To that end, keep them coming. :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
