You've made a great first step, buying Learning Perl. And the recommendations for the Perl Cookbook, 2nd ed. are also excellent - it is a great source of quality code which solves problems. BTW, the 2nd edition just came out this month, most stores probably still carry the original.

This question has been asked before, and I answered it once. I included a small list of tutorials and guidelines, and some instructions on how to search for more. Give it a peak.

When you're done with the Llama, you'll probably be wanting to get into bigger programming, modules, OO, etc. Check out merlyn's Learning Perl Objects, References & Modules - the Alpaca. I just brought it home, and I expect to spend many profitable hours with it and my powerbook.


Perl programming and scheduling in the corporate world, as explained by dragonchild:
"Uhh ... that'll take me three weeks, broken down as follows: 1 day for coding, the rest for meetings to explain why I only need 1 day for coding."

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.
