Hello,

I have already found a no. of good online books and tutorial for perl beginners. As I am a newbie I can't understand which is the best for me that's why I am seeking some suggestion from you the experienced monk.

I am familiar with shell script and I am looking for that domain of perl which can allow me to do sysadmin job more robustly with perl power as well as help me to design same (shell) script in perl.

BTW: any command to conver shell script to perl ?

Thanks

• 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.
