Hello LanX,

A conversion! Finally :) It will be similar to the Neo escape and awake in Matrix :)

A quick search shows a python to perl translator.. well is a 2003 project, probably no more useful, but the example in the page can be a start.

Another one seems very poor quality at first glance (uppercase perl ;).

By other hand perl-vs-python comparison sheet shows something interesting, notably the sentence Perl provides freedom..

For the little I know about the snake, I'd pay attention to explain two important differences: python-data-types are different from perl ones and if they are used to work with sets and tuples they should learn how to play with data types in perl.

The second key difference is scope.

A read of perl philosopy is surely worth, but if they are already programmers then ModernPerl is the right book.

L*

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.
