http://perl-begin.org/ is a site for Perl Beginners, that aims to collect the Internet's best resources for learning Perl. Here are the major changes to it since the last update:
1. The book [Modern Perl](http://perl-begin.org//books/#modern-perl) is now recommended, and [a local copy](http://perl-begin.org//tutorials/modern-perl/) of it, under the CC-by-nc-sa licence is available on Perl-Begin, thanks to [chromatic](http://www.modernperlbooks.com/). 2. We added [a Page](http://perl-begin.org//exercises/) with links to **exercises and challenges**. 3. There's a new topical page about [Modules and Packages](http://perl-begin.org//topics/modules-and-packages/). 4. [A page about using Perl for writing Chat robots and scripts](http://perl-begin.org//uses/chat-scripting/) (IRC, Jabber, etc.) has been added. We also added [a page about developing games with Perl](http://perl-begin.org//uses/games/). 5. More non-recommended Perl elements have been added to [“Perl Elements to Avoid” page](http://perl-begin.org//tutorials/bad-elements/). 6. [The web-development with Perl page](http://perl-begin.org//uses/web/) was enhanced with new frameworks and information. 7. Added [a list of GUI debuggers](http://perl-begin.org//IDEs-and-tools/#gui-debugger) to the IDEs and tools page. 8. We're now mirroring the now offline [“Life with CPAN” by Jeremy Mates](http://perl-begin.org//topics/cpan/#life-with-cpan). 9. A page about the [differences between “Perl”, “perl” and “PERL”](http://perl-begin.org//learn/Perl-perl-but-not-PERL/) was added. It was inspired by [a similar page](http://perl.org.il/misc.html#pl_vs_pl) on the Israeli Perl Mongers site. 10. Many anchors were added to the pages using id= attributes. 11. We're now maintaining the sources of the Perl Beginners' Site in [a bitbucket.org repository](http://perl-begin.org/source/#vcs) and there are instructions for contributing in the link. -------------- If you have any input to give regarding http://perl-begin.org/ , or can help with its ongoing maintenance, we'd be happy to hear from you. Perl-Begin is mostly available under the Creative Commons Attribution licence (CC-by) with parts that are Public Domain, GFDL, and CC-by-nc-sa, and is maintained in a public bitbucket.org repository.
