in reply to Old Programmer New To Perl
Welcome to Perl and PerlMonks!
I much prefer to do my own research. Asking questions, like here, is a last resort.
I feel the same, but there's also no need to be worried about posting here.
I was told by some folks at mersenneforum.org that membership here can be tough.
Well, sometimes, but in my experience only when people are rude, spread bad information, and/or treat PM as a code writing service instead of a place to learn Perl. If you show your code (SSCCE), your thought process, and that you're learning from the replies you get, then as a general rule you should get a lot of help :-) Have a look at PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner and How do I post a question effectively?, and feel free to ask here anytime!
Some things to get started:
My personal book recommendations for a programmer new to Perl would be: Learning Perl (optional depending on programming skill level), Modern Perl, and of course The Camel.
