Re: Learning Exercises

You might have him check out Code Kata; I got pointed at that from a Ruby blog the other day and it's got some interesting programming challenges (not necessarily explicitly coding for some, but . . .).

The ACM also runs annual programming contests; if you follow the link off the main page you can find PDFs of this year's and last year's problems that might work as well.

The best answer so far, appreciate the comments Fletch... It may be some monks have come from c++ to perl, Perl is my first lang out of school.. and my teacher didnt know what a hash was... now the point I am making is that lets not judge others being introduced to perl or any other lang...and I personally hate it when people say 'they should buy a book'. Thats not always so easy as it seems....so we mere mortals hope for support of fellow monks... I for myself want to just teach newbies the best I can Thanks again Fletch	[reply]
