It's interesting that you say this. Actually, learning Perl for me has helped me to understand C better. I started out with shell scripting...well, actually I started out with BASIC and Pascal first (as far as programming in an uninterpretted language) and when I got to Unix I was a heavy shell scripter. Eventually, I moved over to Perl but that transition was very slow because I was intimidated by Perl's flexibility. The fact that you could do the same thing 10 different ways syntactically correct and the functionality of your code would basicly do the same thing was just hard for me to adapt to idealogically. I just had to dive in. That was where the fun began. I have never turned back and now when I read my books on C I totally understand them now whereas before I just had a hard time understanding the wording.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
