<h2><center><font face="arial">Greatest Perl Docs Ever Written</h2>
<p><font size=-2>Besides a cold beer, there's nothing like good documentation or tutorials to help you learn Perl. Here are links to documents that I consider the greatest because they are written better and more clearly than others and shed a whole lot of light on their respective subjects. No need to worry about wasting paper and ink printing these out.</center></font></p><b>
<font size=-1><a href="http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=perldsc&lastnode_id=87227">perldsc:</a> Excellent overview of nested data structures. Chock full of great code examples.<br><br>
<font size=-1>[Using (s)printf()]: If there's one part of the perldoc that sucks, its the one that documents how sprintf/printf work. Fortunately, [turnstep] has put together this nifty tutorial to fill the hole.
<br><br>
<font size=-1>[Benchmarking your code]: [turnstep] does it again! I always wondered how to time your code and this excellent tutorial got me started faster than the amount of time it took to execute my crap code just once!
<br><br>
<font size=-1>[http://www1.fatbrain.com/asp/BookInfo/BookInfo.asp?theisbn=1565922204&from=MDZ411|Chapter 3, Advanced Perl Programming]: If you are still scratching your head about Typeglobs and Symbol Tables, look no further. This chapter alone was worth the price of the book. Extremely clear and well written.
