I'm afraid you're going to have to assign some homework.

Really. If your friend knows the basics, he's going to have to get some practice. He can come up with a small project on his own and you can answer his questions. Alternatively, you can come up with an assignment yourself and then coach him along. I guess what it comes down to is you can't learn without practice.

I think more regular expressions would be a good topic to cover from where you left off. They're so useful and even if he doesn't end up sticking with Perl, he can use that knowledge for a wagonload of other tools. (OK, maybe more like a bushel.)

Good luck to you and your friend. I've got to get back to practicing. The projects just keep coming...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
