note talexb <p>Well, I've been here eleven years, and I think it's helped me considerably. I have stayed up to date on Perl and technology that relates to it, learned a great deal, and even helped a few people along the way.</p> <p>I'm a little puzzled as to how you think this site might be a 'wast' (sic) of time after being here less than three weeks.</p> <p>If you're serious about learning Perl, read a lot, try a few things on your own, read the documentation, read some articles, participate in the Chatterbox, maybe IRC, attend a local Perlmongers meeting, and see how you get along with the language and the community. It might really work for you (it did for me), or it might not be a good fit. It's your time, and only you can make up your own mind on Perl.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-131279"> <p>Alex / [talexb] / Toronto</p> <p><small>"<a href="http://www.groklaw.net">Groklaw</a> is the open-source mentality applied to legal research" ~ Linus Torvalds</small></p> </div></div> 1012740 1012740
