What things to be learnt first etc.


amongst the problems is where are you coming from?

if you are new to programming in general, then having
the learning perl will help you over both hurdles at once.
There is a [EMAIL PROTECTED]    mailing list that
is specifically aimed at general perl beginning questions.
If you are coming from a 'c' or 'c++' background,
then most of the general syntax will map easily onto
what you already know about programming.
Either way you will also want to become fast friends with

	perldoc perl

since perl offers a lot of internal documentation.

I saved off some of the basic perl web sites at:
http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perldoc/
At which point you will also want to pick up books like

        a. CGI Programming with perl
        b. Dynamic HTML - the definitive reference
        c. JavaScript The Definitive Guide
since you will find that understanding HTML will be very
useful, and that there are times when you will want your
perl cgi code to generate javascript stuff...
