Hi firewall00
I am a special person not like the others in this site, because i am in the same situation as you are: i am new to Perl :) I started a year ago reading Perl. First Learning Perl , then Intermediate Perl and finally Programming Perl ( the famous "Camel Book"). I was understanding most of the information contained in these books, but i couldn't write any code at all. I was understanding the concept of multidimensional hashes but i couldn't write a simple subroutine. Finally i talked to a very experienced programmer as many Monks in this site and advised me as follows: Do not read books just for reading them, You improve only your reading ability not your programming skill. Better start building an application that you like. Then make it better and better. In my case i own a little cafe in Greece. So im currently writing a GUI for managing expences and income. I know i can download a 100 times better aplication for free from the net but i want to learn Perl and use the software i create. Makes me fell better! Additionally the process of mastering a programming language is very time consuming. We have lots of things to learn both of us. Look at the bright side, we have the luck to be part of this Monastery and talk to other Monks to solve issues and problems we face. Good luck !!!!
