Re: Help with references

Am I the only one that is still having a problem with references? No matter how much information I read about them, they are still out of my reach. I just finished perlref and I'm still having problems with them.

Do you prefer nice graphics? Effective Perl Programming has a great graphical notation for perl data structures (called PeGS - PErl Graphical Structures). The book used to be available online but that link has been problematic for quite some time. You can check out the Effective Perl course slides here (the PeGS stuff starts on page 55 of the pdf).

merlyn was a co-author of Effective Perl (merlyn can you shed any light onto what happened to the effectiveperl site?).

can you shed any light onto what happened to the effectiveperl site? Well, Joseph still owns the domain, but is getting out of the Perl training business, and into commercial art photography full time and has moved to northern Alaska. I wouldn't be surprised if the site has stopped working as a result. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]

I wish him all the luck in his new adventure but to be totally selfish, any chance of getting Stonehenge to host the pdf copy of Effective Perl that used to be available at effectiveperl.com? -derby	[reply]

Well, it was just one chapter of the book. I might be able to scarf that from the Wayback Machine or something, as I don't think I have any of the original PDFs any more. -- Randal L. Schwartz, Perl hacker Be sure to read my standard disclaimer if this is a reply.	[reply]
