The point isn't so much to unlearn anything as it is to learn new ways of doing the same old things. One example that has been given is using map() instead of blithely iterating over an array. I personally had to get used to using postfix conditionals (XYZ if(foo);) for one-statement conditional statements instead of just sticking the statement to be executed on the next line.
As a matter of fact, PERL helped me understand some of the finer points (no pun intended, it'll make sense later) of other languages. It wasn't until I grokked PERL's references that I really understood the power of C's pointers (makes sense now, doesn't it? *ducks flying objects*).

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.
