Where did you learn perl from?

A few of the German monks have complained from, time to time, about the Perl being "English" based, and the lack of sufficient documentation in German.

I personally learned perl almost entirely from pod (perlmonks helped a lot).

I speak English (3rd language) pretty well, and am pretty comfortable with reading and digesting perlpod now, which for the most part, is pretty good.

I probably could benefit from a few books (Damian Conways OO Perl, and japhy's upcoming perl regex book, and maybe Network Programming with perl).

Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is maybe you ought to have find a mentor, a colleague, somebody more knowledgable about perl to help, and guide, and sometimes yell at ;), you, while you design and implement this. There is no substitue for experience (or advice from someone experienced), or good program specification (with which comes good design).

Who know, maybe the perlmonks as a community can do you a "solid" if you're nice :) Anyway, just a thought... and oh yeah, documentation is key (pod pod pod pod pod pod pod pod pod)

perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"
