note Joost Agreed with most of this list. Two remarks: <p> I don't think perl's threading is all that interesting (except when interfacing with threaded C/C++ code). <p> Multi-process (forking/IPC) code is more useful just because it's more general (and also easier to translate into multi-machine/networked code), and because of that I'd recommend [cpan://POE] as a good framework to lean since it really makes IPC, networking and event programming a lot easier. <p> <!-- Node text goes above.
