I'm a 22 year-old computer programming student and I was briefly introduced to this language in class.

I really appreciate how terse and flexible the language is, though I don't know how to use it fully, yet. One of these days, I'd like to get there, though.

I have a rather unpopular viewpoint around here: I don't care how long my programs take to execute. This will definitely change when someone starts paying me to code efficiently. :)

Books I've read on Perl:

• Web Warrior Series: CGI/Perl
• Programming Perl

Manpages I've read:

• strftime
• rpm

Other stuff that I've read about:

• NCurses
• Apache
