Hi fellow monks there,

I use primarily R for data analysis.
But I am fascinated by perl language. I know basics of perl by self learning from internet.
I want to know how can I load stata and csv data in perl, and view it.
And finally analyse it.
As I am newbie could you please show me step by step of loading and viewing data in perl.

And lastly can you and your other members of the team make a course on MOOC platform like coursera, udacity, edX about real world data analysis with PDL and PDL::Stats with examples.
Such course will be warmly welcomed by all of the community and also helps attarct new programmers towards this language.

The language popularity much depends on interactive learning resources. As a perl lover I am devastated by the degrading popuarity of perl while python is rising.

Thanks
Suman
