Where to start ?

[ChrisMacPherson]

Hello,

I want to start coding Perl, and am looking for a good place to start. I have already learnt various other languages, but Perl seems from a glance to have a bit of a bite to it.

Any tutorials or good references sites, would be much appreciated.

Thanks again Chris MacPherson

A bit of a bite to it?

Nah, Perl is probably one of the easiest languages to learn, since it borrows from so many languages.

Hence the name Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister. Eclectic - coming from many sources.

Anyways, check out

http://www.perl.com,

http://www.cpan.org,

and

http://www.perl.org.

Those are probably the best places to search.

You can always just search on a search engine as well.

If you want access to a lot of scripts, try cgi.resourceindex.com.

This question has been answered a lot so search in other threads on what other people have said. vic cherubini

I strongly recommend the two canonical source books for Perl. Learning Perl, by Randal Schwartz, et al. (ISBN: 1565922840), and Programming Perl, by Larry Wall, et al., (ISBN: 0596000278).

I have those books, and they're pretty dog-eared by now.
