( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Thanks for sharing this. I too completed the survey but was torn about how to respond, especially to the questions regarding what kind of support would I be looking for (as a hobbyist programmer new to Perl). Personally, I prefer the "asynchronous" nature of things like mailing lists that allow for more thoughtful exchanges at times that are convenient for me. But we obviously have that resource right here so I'd be hesitant to recommend something that competes with this site. Because of Perl's age, there are dozens of good books available ranging from introductory materials to in-depth examinations of Perl's more advanced features. What I ultimately recommended was something like online courses on edX or Coursera that offer ability to interact with a live instructor and students and possibly have assignments or projects for new Perl programmers to apply their skills. I know pulling something like that isn't easy but with so many options already out there, it was the only "novel" one I could think of.

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.
