Due to my current international employment, I sometimes have the task of explaining Perl in languages other than English. This is usually difficult, so I have been looking for good, current resources on Perl in alternate languages. I encourage everyone else to contribute any gems they may have found in their lanugage; my current research for Japanese is below:
<li>Various [http://www.oreilly.co.jp/index/perl/|O'Reilly books] have been translated, including the Camel, Llama, Panther, and many others. Be careful that you are getting the most current edition, however.
<li>[http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/249-1669309-1669928|Amazon Japan] has many other Perl resources as well.
<li>Two CPAN FTP sites: [ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/lang/perl/CPAN/|FTP 1] and [ftp://ftp.lab.kdd.co.jp/lang/perl/CPAN/|FTP 2].
<li>Japanese Perl Newsgroup: fj.lang.perl
<p>Unfortunatly, what I really want is some online documentation or a direct translation of perldoc. I bet they're out there, but I don't actually speak Japanese, which complicates the issue. We're using [http://www.activestate.com|ActivePerl] in English here; I imagine there are no translations of the actual distributions. So, any help would be appreciated on my part for my Japanese quest, but I would also like to see what resources are available in other languages, just to see how far Perl has spread through the world.
