Given that Python and Perl are both general purpose scripting languages, sound principles demonstrated in a book that uses Python examples would be similarly applicable to Perl. Idioms may differ, but we're not talking about idiomatic programming. If you learned the subject matter in the book to which you refer, and you have learned a sufficient amount of Perl, your knowledge foundation, combined with some visits to CPAN will be everything you need.

Look around this site. You will find plenty of offensive Perl code and many penetrating answers and meditations.
True laziness is hard work

It seems as clear as yesterday
We saw it in a dream
but dream became insanity
an awful gaping scream
So sad to see such emptiness
So sad to see such tears
And heaped up leaves of bitterness
turned mouldy down the years
Nothing but the truth.
Common words in use
Hard to find excuse
Harder than the truth
Like Icarus we flew too high
We flew too near the sun
They caught us in that awful glare
Our hapless throats were strung
But just before the final stroke
They took us victims of the rope
And cast us far beyond the deep
To lie in never ending sleep
It seems as clear as yesterday
They cast us in the deep
We lie in darkest night for good
Never ending sleep
A never ending bitter gloom
Whose darkness seldom clears
A God forsaken emptiness
Which fills our hearts with tears
Good night, Karl

If Loompanics Unlimited was still in business I would suggest you buy a copy of their catalog. They have dozens of great books on how to lead your very own one man army anarcho-peoples-revolution or how to resist Soviet occupation of the USA after WW3. | [reply] |
