Hey katch

Look around the monastery! It is possibly the best Perl education you will find.

Have Learning Perl very close by.

Get copies of 'Effective Perl Programming' (Hall & Schwartz) and 'Perl Cookbook' (Christiansen & Torkington) also by O'Reilly. Sit down with a large mug of coffee or whatever, and start on something!

Use the search ans SuperSearch functions here in the monastery, in particular look in the Tutorials, Code and Meditations sections. They are an absolute Gold Mine of good stuff.

I spent years programming Perl working mainly fro other peoples examples and just about ANY Perl book I could find, then I found this place. I have learned more here in a few short months just by reading, let alone what I have learned form asking questions!

Good Luck
