in reply to Best Approach to Learn Perl for a Non Programmer
My recommendation is to read all of the perldoc pages, start to finish. Don't worry about understanding any of it! It's language, and just like a spoken language, you need a lot of fodder. If you read encyclopedias, you'll learn a lot, even if you don't remember any of it, or if it doesn't make much sense. Pieces creep out, so if you don't feel comfortable with the language, just keeping dumping more "gah gah gah" in.
