Hello Monks!
I worked through some of the Tutorials in the section.
But i feel i need a solid base - a head start -from where its easier for me to do research on my own, teach myself.
I wonder what you think of Perl Trainings (online), since i am not able to visit a "Personal on-site" Training for a few months now.
Or perhaps you have seen some screencasts (english or german)
I was looking around for some online courses and found this at oreillys:
http://oreillyschool.com/courses/asac4/syllabus.php
What do you think is it worth the money (398$)?

This thread is some years back, so maybe some things discussed here already changed meanwhile:
Perl Training

Update:
Perl Videos? thanks zod

Perl Training pdfs:
http://perltraining.com.au/notes.html
thanks almut
/Update

btw: I ordered the Camel Book.

Update:
I found another invaluable book on my shelf:
Mastering Regular Expressions,3rd rev. by Jeffrey Friedl
Which i think every unix/linux admin should have regardless of using Perl.
Mastering Regular Expressions
/Update
Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts.

Would it have been better to post this in meditations section?
