Re: Recommendations for a self-taught Perl programmer

Pal, I think you are already at the right place. A couple of years back I had posted some questions on this site similar to yours. But later on realized that perlmonks itself is infact the best site and you get the response from so many good fellow monks for specific tailored questions. For others I think the manuals that available in the perl site should be sufficient.

Pal, I think you are already at the right place. I strongly second that. Communities and discussions do not substitute books, but are important. As I've written several times, I've learnt more from clpmisc than from anywhere else. My first questions were very naive, but I got to appreciate the community. It is somewhat harsher than here, but I have no problem with that as long as it keeps the quality of discussions high; also beacuse its behavioural rule are just out of common sense after all. I discovered PerlMonks later, but the same remarks apply more or less unchanged. All in all they are not in competition, but constitute complementary resources, both in philosophy and partecipating people, out of many others, of course.	[reply]
