a good thing to do, IMHO, would be to buy the Perl Cookbook and try to cook up your own recipes. then compare yours with the authors one and learn, learn, learn.

there are hundreds of problems there, ranging from very simple to very complex, and you'll have a great fun digging through it.

BTW, the recipes are also posted daily on http://www.perl.com, if you *really* can't pull the bucks.

cheers,
