I agree 100%, I have decided that I will take the next month, and learn the very basics of Perl, basic input&output stuff, get that so I know the inside of it as well as the outsides, after that I will add a bit of the more esoteric stuff, Databases and the such.
Problem is, my wife has a website she wants to setup for her business, and wants me to do it. My HTML skills are mediocre at best <s>, but I know enough to get it rolling. What I want to do on it is pretty specific and I have much of it plotted out, I only have to get up to speed on perl to bring it together.
CGI will have to wait, though there is a very interesting module (can you belive I am still trying to figure modules out, getting them, getting them installed...) that I am dieing to use, and I have spent the better part of the past two days smashing my head up againt it. .
I am going to use that module as the stepping stone from not knowing modules to actually knowing them <s>.
Thanks for the encouragement!
