For new bees it is very difficult to find some stuff and tutorials

Let's see. Where would a "new bee" start? Probably at perl.org. Click "Docs", click "Tutorials". Not so difficult.

Where else might they start? Maybe with the FAQ where there's a whole section (number 2) about where to go for learning materials.

Maybe they would come to PerlMonks where there's a Tutorials section linked on every page.

Or maybe they would try a search engine like DuckDuckGo or Google

If you could explain how these methods could be made less difficult for perl neophytes then that would be most illuminating.

Let's see. Where would a "new bee" start? Probably at perl.org. Just browsing back over some good times and came across this post which I'd previously missed. That has to be the single most arrogant piece of 'I know it all, but I forgot how much time and effort I put in to learning it; and how f-ing hard it was to get started', dismissive, condescending, this-adds-nothing-to-this-thread-but-I-have-an-agenda-to-fulfill BS I've seen here in a while. But then, there's not much of anything said around here anymore; so I guess the odds were in your favour. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday' Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". The enemy of (IT) success is complexity. In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Complete bollocks. hippo's response to the ludicrous statement that it is difficult to find learning materials about Perl was a gentle admonition accompanied by tons of links to the material. How does that add nothing to the thread? Do share how you would have responded to the same. The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]
