I recently started a job that at some point is going to require me knowing and using Perl. I am pretty green as a programmer and need some guidance to get me going on the right foot. Currently I am reading the Llama book to grease the skids so to speak, but am looking for addition advice, reading material, classes, and general information on learning to program and Perl. Any help provided is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!! -- Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
