Hi,

Whatever be the level of the python programmer's expertise, I would strongly suggest he get a copy of Ovid's Beginning Perl. It was released in 2012, but it is still quite relevant. He might find the first few chapters "Meh", but chapter 6 onwards, the book starts getting into some real interesting stuff Perl offers. Chapter 7 (subroutines) is truly worth for someone who comes for another language, and that's just the beginning. The book is dense but if he goes through it, he'll learn enough to write amazing code, avoid pitfalls, be amazed by what Perl Testing has to offer and so on...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
