(I'll apologise in advance as this thread spins rapidly off-topic).
I'm probably a novice programmer, at least by the standards of
most of the people on this list. I'm 16, and since I haven't taken
Computer Science at university yet, I'm a bit lacking in 'formal
programming education'. I'd rather not form bad habits - is there
any advice anyone can give me on how to write, clean Perl (OO or
otherwise)? Are there any good books I can pick up?
TIA
