Whee! Inflammatory topic! 1) If you are interested in learning to program for the sake of programming (vs getting XYZ done), Perl probably isn't the best first choice. (Not that its the last choice or anything, but not first.) I'd personally advocate C/C++ or maybe Java. Maybe make Perl a third choice ;)
2) If you are still picking up Perl and want to get into OOP, its probably better to stick with Perl and learn OOP rather than starting in on Ruby. The best way to learn OOP IMHO would be to come up (or get someone else to) with some sort of OOP project and then go ahead and implement it. 3) Nope. Never did any Ruby. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
