Re: Suggestion for addition to Tutorials section

Doesn't look like a Perl tutorial to me. So I added it to Perl Reference Materials: Books. However, I'm not sure it belongs there, as it isn't a Perl reference book either. In fact — having only skimmed the book, it looks to me like it is not a Perl book at all, but a comp.sci text which just happens to use Perl, for illustrative purposes only.

Well, it is as much of a Perl tutorial as Learn vi/vim in 50 lines and 15 minutes or Using CVS for revision control -- more so, in fact. I realize that it is not a Perl tutorial, in the sense of its purpose being to teach nothing but the Perl language -- it's a tutorial on writing a parser and interpreter, using Perl. But, as I said, I think that it is one of the few free online tutorials that I've found which shows how to use Perl to construct software on a larger scale than "Hello world", and "Create a class, instantiate object, call method, done". That is why I think that it belongs in the Tutorials section. --Jesse Taylor	[reply]

It appears that another member of Pedagogues has added it to Tutorials, so I have deleted it from Perl Reference Materials: Books.	[reply]

Yup, that would be me, as it did not seem an unreasonable request, although possibly Other Topics would be somewhat more appropriate than Miscellaneous Perl Tutorials. Comments? Update: Moved to Other Topics per /privmsg confab with jdporter. (Thanks, JD!) HTH, planetscape	[reply]
