I started with Perl 4 in 1997. Without a single book or reference. I learned from the code of others. I used it for simple stuff like HTML form processing and print statements.

As my skills grew I did more and more with Perl. Now, I spend most of my coding hours working with Perl.

God Bless Larry Wall! :)
