in reply to Tutorial RFC: Guide to Perl references, Part 1

NOTE: I've been considering translating this five part series I wrote a few years ago to PerlMonks, and I thought I'd go for it to see what others thought. Parts 2-5 are still linked to the blog to give context to the entire series. If people think this should be made into a Tutorial, I'll clean up and translate the rest of the docs and link them properly.

Thoughts?

What's wrong with perlref, perlreftut, perllol, perldsc, perldata? (And why don't you fix them?)

    I don't know what's wrong with them, I haven't read them in a long time :)

    I wrote this tutorial just for fun years ago while I was playing around with perl6. I will take your comments into account and re-read the actual perldocs to see if I can put any effort into those.

    Cheers,

      BTW, I don't think it is a bad idea to have more Perl tutorials out there. More tutorials means more points of view, more discussion, etc. You can learn from the existing tutorials to make your ones better, but they can also learn from you.

      Part of the success of the Perl community is based on the idea that there are more than one ways to do something, but also that implies we need a multitude of different voices explaining things so people get different understandings.

      So I would not discourage you in any way from continuing to do these tutorials yourself and I look forward to seeing the other parts here.
