Perl Resources


Recommended Posts

I may need to start programming in Perl in the near future, so I'm looking for some good resources from anyone who has learned it. Web sites, books, etc. - anything that you think would be useful. I know there are sites all over the web, and I will look at them, but I thought I'd check to see if anyone has some that they feel are very useful.

 

Thanks ;)

I like the O'Reilly books but basically I think books with a CD of examples and code are much better for the way I learn....

 

A really good way I find is buy a good reference book like the Perl in a nutshell and then download lots of code and make yourself little projects. jboy has given you enough for the next 5 yrs so .... no point just googling ....

 

Because of the way PERL is .... the modules are foten directly supported with code, for instance ones I have used a lot are Tim Bunce's DBM: and DBD::<db>

 

Also most of the modules tend to have a test suite with progs and examples .. again really useful. Its really easy to take something working and then play about in many languages but PERL is IMHO really simple....
