Yes, a tutorial is a good idea. A couple of suggestions for your writeup:

When making a link, especially in a tutorial, it's good to have the URL appear explicitly in the text, for people who are going off a written printout of the tutorial.

Also, it might be good to link to http://www.activeperl.com/ (the main page) rather than a subpage, the URL of which is more likely to change.

Finally, when telling people how to install Perl on Windows, I find an important point to mention is they should have administrator access on their machine. Otherwise the install becomes more complicated (have to manually go and associate the .pl file extension with perl.exe).

But it's a great idea to have such a tutorial.

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.
