New 2 Perl Programming - Anybody have any good reference or data structure exercises I could work on?

Mike_Hamilton_Perl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I'm new to the world of Perl, and I am looking for hands-on exercises to improve my use of references, de-referencing, and data structures. Does anyone have any thing to offer to get me started? I have the Perl Cookbook, and several other O-Reilly books; I'm just not finding many actual exercises for application of the code samples. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike

    The book you want for this is Intermediate Perl by Randal L. Schwartz. There are not only great explanations, but also exercises of the type you are looking for. Well worth the investment.

    perlmonks, perlreftut, Data::Dumper; personally, I really liked the programming perl book. I called it the bible for a long time. That was back in the 2nd edition epoch I think.

    If you're like me, you'll get a lot out of perl -MData::Dumper -e 'print "", Dumper([ {lol=>7}, qw(oh, I get it) ]), "\n"'...
