Learning Perl occasionally moves quickly, but for the most part I actually think it should work fine for a new programmer. If you find yourself wanting a more beginner-level treatment of the same topics, you might check out Beginning Perl. The first edition of that is available freely online (and legally, too): http://www.perl.org/books/beginning-perl/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
