Years ago I use Perl to solve small problems at work, topography, from data formatting of "cross sections" from a spreadsheet to AutoCAD to the implementation of simple algorithms "numerical methods".

The result is that I have very limited use of the power of Perl. I lack a deep understanding of different programming paradigms that supports Perl to further leverage the official Perl documentation.

That means there are two ways to penetrate the capabilities of Perl: the documentation, they need those who move easily in different environments of"Perl world" and only need to know how the new module is integrated into the general abstract model, and tutorials, essential for those who try to penetrate the mysteries of the abstract model.

In my situation, what I try, precisely, is to learn Perl using Perl. Use it to replace my old bash scripts to manage my system. Use it to make those little math now entrust to Octave, or to manage this small database that need my brother ... Or ...

Acting thus gain the freedom I need to do so. A loopback

Right now I'm reviewing some of the basics of Perl necessary to approach Mojolicious. Why Mojolicious? ... For documentation. For his tutorials. By their casts. Because thanks to them I could understand the MVC model as well as Mojolicious. And because the simple CGI I've done to that database from my brother was talking about earlier, has left me with the desire to understand how it's done, really, this kind of work. ^_^

Acting thus gain the freedom I need to do so.

For me, "Intermediate Perl" is the paradigm to follow. Learning means finding a problem, understand the problem, evaluate possible solutions and implement the best of them. And the context, which is taken for granted so often in the official documentation on many modules, it is everything.

I would like to encourage you to develop a tutorial on the terms described. Many thanks you ;).
