I'm afraid I have no knowledge of perl training - whether on-line or not - so I'm afraid I have nothing to offer on that front and I would also be interested, from the point of view of perl evangelism, in the points of view of any other venerable perl sages out there.

That being said, I came to perl from a systems programming/shell scripting background and IMO, an in-depth knowledge of regular expressions and shell scripting have proved invaluable in my, sadly all too slow, adoption of the language. I'm a firm believer in horses for courses and so I now still frequently exercise my shell scripting skills - alongside my, hopefully improving perl, skills dependant on the job in hand.

I would recommend, in due course, obtaining the intermediate, advanced and 'references & objects' perl books to sit alongside the camel book on your bookshelf - or google for a publicly available perl CD bookshelf as I did (once I'd already bought the books).

You've already done the best thing you could by joining this forum :-) I wish such a thing were available years ago - all that time I could've saved (..and probably spent in the pub:-))

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
