Hey Chris, I'd be glad to be a part of that. It would probably make my study more productive if there were specific topics/deadlines, rather than me trying to "fit study time in" when I'm able to...
Thanks,
T.

I can't recommend Modern Perl highly enough. Another good resource is Effective Perl. If there is enough interest I'd be happy to organize a study group.

Hey Mike,
I've been "dinking around" with learning Perl for a while now, & while the Llama & Camel books are good, they just don't "do it" for me - the Llama book seemed too "theoretical", & I find the endless Flintstones references tiresome, I guess. The book that *really* made me feel like I could be productive with Perl is 'Minimal Perl' by Tim Maher (link to Amazon page below) :
http://preview.tinyurl.com/porzge5
What this book does is to outline various Perl capabilities in ways that relate to UNIX capabilities that you're probably already familiar with, & that change in the way that the subject is approached made a noticeable difference for me. I also occasionally look at 'Perl by Example' by Quiqley, but I that's mostly just in the hope of having a new concept explained in a different manner when I'm not getting it otherwise.
Finally, you can also download a *free* copy of the book 'Modern Perl' by Chromatic at the link below:
http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html
I hope that this is helpful.

(P.S. I hope that I'm not being pedantic when I say this, but there's no 'a' in Perl.) ;-)

Et al,
I've taken a job where management is sort of gently encouraging us to learn programming, usually either python or pearl. While I know of several good python references/handbooks, I know of no good pearl references. Can anyone recommend good websites/books?
