Hello Perl Land
Hello, Well i am sure all your Perl people are gonna love this lol,
I am a PHP codeer and am going to be changing to Perl, I am a tech support Admin for a comapny that is goign to be using Perl scripts, So i told them it would be in good interest if i learned Perl and drop PHP, They agreed, I would like to ask if there are any good resource sites that can help me speed up my knowledge of Perl, like phpbuilder, zend.com and any others like them. If you have any Tips for me then please let me know. Thanks |

One of the best sites if you truly want to learn perl is www.perlmonks.org. There are tutorials and very, very helpful coders there. This isn't the type of site that responds well to 3l33t haxorz, meaning the level of discussion is pretty damn good. I would say that most of the members are truly professional coders who know their stuff, and/or are learning.
Check some of the mailing lists (perlmongers?), and get some of the O'Reilly books like Learning Perl and CGI programming with Perl. The "Visual Quickstart" books bite. They teach you really bad coding. You'll find me at perlmonks too (Hero Zzyzzx, strangely enough). Another great resource is the documentation that comes with a perl install- there are some top-notch tutorials in there. Look at some of the recent posts for info on reading the perl docs. Good luck! Why learn PHP when you can learn a real programming language? ![]() |

Coming from PHP, you obviously have some programming background. So, you might do well simply reading the documentation that comes with the standard Perl distribution.
From the command line, type: Code:
$ perldoc perl That will return a list of Perl Documentation like: Code:
NAME
perl - Practical Extraction and Report Language
SYNOPSIS
perl [ -sTuU ] [ -hv ] [ -V[:configvar] ]
[ -cw ] [ -d[:debugger] ] [ -D[number/list]]

For ease of access, the Perl manual has been split up into
a number of sections:
perl Perl overview (this section)

To start learning right away, start from perldata and work your way down. PerlMonks also has this list in a web-based format so you could take a look at that. Anyway, enjoy! Code:
print map{pack "H*",$_}('4a75737420416e6f74686572205065726c204861636b6572'=~m/(..)/g);print "$/";
