in thread Perl tutorial building on Python skills?

++ for the Perl Cookbook. The learner should be able to recognise and code up solutions to the scenarios in their own language and then compare/contrast with the idiomatic Perl solutions. That ought to be a quick way to get them up to speed and starting to think more in the Perl worldview. Great suggestion.

      °) FWIW I've seen that O'Reilly has already granted the right to certain authors to self publish online ( i.e. to provide legal PDFs for download).

      But I'm ignorant about the legal framework.
