Re: Where and how to start learning Perl

Excellent list, congratulations!

I could have missed them, but it seems a few nice sites aren't mentioned you might want to include:

http://www.perl.com somewhere, a lot of interesting articles can be found there, as well as a nice tip of the day.
Also http://use.perl.org is a good news site on Perl, although the most important stuff gets mentioned on PerlMonks as well.

I didn't check, but if no similar resource is available this would be a nice entry for the tutorial section or the FAQs.

Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

TMTOWTDI by webmasta (Initiate) on Sep 07, 2003 at 04:40 UTC
For learning Perl the TMTOWTDI paradigm of Perl applies: there's more than one way to do it. #So how come theres only one way to do comments? hmmm... webM	[reply]

webmasta, To my knowledge there are quite a few ways to do comments. # comment goes here POD comments documenting your code __END__ comments follow Acme::Comment I have even seen some people use here docs for comments, though it really is code. I am sure creative monks have found even more. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

`use strict; my $TMTOWTDI = "There IS more than one way to do it"; my $MeaningfulVariableName = "Is another way"; $MeaningfulVariableName =0, "And if you get creative, even more"; SomeOtherWayToSayIt = MeaningfulVariableName ; SomeSubroutine($MeaningfulVariableName , "Extra arg used as a comment +");` [download] I'm sure there are other creative ways to do it - I'm not recommending any of this - it's just that this node invited a challenge.
