Re: My Perl journey begins

Hello oldB51 and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

you can find interesting this recent thread: Workflow / Setup Questions where perl IDE are discussed.

See also RFC: Perl Learning Plan where I mention Modern Perl Book: worth to read even if not for beginners.

I loved a lot the ancient Perl Cookbook which can offer you a wide panorama about how many things Perl is good at (remember is an old book but many approaches presented here are basically still valid).

Pay attention to links posted by eyepopslikeamosquito: our best link collector :) (I try to mimicry them in my chaotic bibliotheca)

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Thanks for the response . Modern Perl is on my list. The IDE link is very useful…I had already tried BBEdit…an excellent text editor…but I decided on vscode. However, I have seen several references to IntelliJ IDEA and decided to take the plunge. It is fantastic. I have some experience with its sister product CLion so didn’t require much convincing.

I have some experience with its sister product CLion so didn’t require much convincing. Yeah, their other products are almost identical. I use CLion for several projects as well (and Rider etc, etc). The awesome thing about their products is that they all allow you to install the same plugins. For example, CLion is what I use for C/C++ development, but it also allows the Perl plugin be installed, so I can work on my projects that include both C and Perl (such as this one) without having to have two IDEs open. I've been a user of their software for a very long time now. Best part is, is that they have an Open Source License, so if you've got a viable Open Source project(s) published, you can apply for said license, and that allows you to use every single one of their products for free.
