Thanks!

> chromatic explains why Modern Perl is so short (see also the excellent reply by xdg):

Actually the second chapter in Object Oriented Perl (which xdg is dissing) includes a very good overview of (non-OO) Perl in 60+ pages.

Damian is a brilliant author and it's a good base for an experienced programmer. (Plus I have the German translation which makes communication easier)

Modern Perl then is larger and goes more into details and is already available in their office in Berlin.

This should give a very good foundation to build on.

Then later combined with my own self assessment quiz ° plus links into the docs, should clarify remaining issues.

(I don't want to start learning Python in deep for this :)

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.
