Hi monks,
I am new to this site but I am not totally new to perl.
I want to review (talk about) some of the best ways to learn perl and how I learned perl. I learned perl from Learning Perl. It is very simple and doesn't "assume" that you know anything about perl. It is a great book for experts to brush up on subjects and awesome for the begginer. Some books discourage people from learning perl but I think that this book makes people want to learn perl. Learning Perl is a great starting step but they're many more steps to go to be a "master" of perl. One suggestion I have for continueing your perl knownledge is other books in the Learning Perl series such as: The Perl Cookbook, and Programming Perl (I know there is another one I can't think of it off the top of my head). These are all considered to be in the same series. If you look up any of the authors at your local library you will find many many more good perl books by them. I suggest for any of the new people to perl that they sign up to a helpful site like this one :) or Usenet:). The wise monks or users there will tell you all about perl and solve any questions of yours. They also are great comedians and nice friends sometimes. I have already asked things on both sites and gotten very intellegent answers in response. Just for those users or begginers or both that it might apply to....there are stupid questions on usenet and perlmonks and in my opinion there always in something stupid to ask, but in this situation the stupid questions are the ones that can be answered by other posts that you were to lazy to look at, that are in man perl or the docs, or that you answer later and waste someones time asking them.
GOOD LUCK!
