in reply to Climbing The Perl Learning Curve
Another suggestion that I would make is ... to look at as much Perl code as you can reasonably get your hands on. For example, if you are searching for a CPAN library (http://search.cpan.org) that interests you, notice the (Source) hyperlink on that page. Click it, and you get a glimpse of the source-code behind the scenes. Just ... browse it. Don’t try to understand it all. Some of it’s wunnerful, and some is not. But it is real, production code. “You learn a lot by watching.”
