in reply to How did you learn Perl?
I am wondering how all of you learned perl.
I learned a lot from reading other people's code. Whenever there was something that I didn't understand I created my own little test programs and played with that piece of code until the light came on :-) (In fact, I still do that today especially with OO code) Allow perldoc to become your friend and use it - often. Programming Perl aka 'The Camel Book' can be an invaluable source of info - although it's really not geared towards *learning* Perl - more of a reference manual once you've got your feet wet. Try the Perl Cookbook - I found that one particularly helpful when learning Perl.
