Re: What's the most important thing to learn in the Perl world?

Thanks everyone. All your advice is greatly appreciated!!!

You have confirmed my thoughts, in that references/objects are pretty much the next step to take, which will make a lot of other things fall into place.

I'm off to buy Learning Perl Objects, References, and Modules

Thanks again all.

I agree. Get comfortable with references, and then read Object Oriented Perl cover to cover. Not only will you write better code, it will also be much easier to interact with modules from CPAN.	[reply]
