Enjoy!

many thanks, very useful link you shared. Is there a place where i can get exercises from easy to very hard. I find that i learn better by solving problems.

Rosetta Code would be a good starting point (depending on your personal definition of "easy" and "hard", of course).

Agreed. I find that the best place most of the time to find learning/sample code is the test suites of Perl packages. Perl has an above average testing culture I think. This turned up a few interesting things and I’m sure there is plenty more in there–

At my day job, there is only tests for approximately 20% of all code. They've finally mandated that all files get at least 80% coverage (this is all Python). I'm a stickler in my Perl apps to reach at least 90% coverage, but frequently reach 95+, testing most things in numerous way at that.

I'm also currently half way done a tutorial for PerlMonks that shows the whole github, travis and coveralls configuration so those who don't know, will easily be able to implement and appreciate CI
