There's lots of resources on the web, like http://llama.med.harvard.edu/~fgibbons/PerlPythonPhrasebook.html http://perl.active-venture.com/Porting/pumpkin-gotchas.html Maybe get 1 or 2 books, recommended: Perl Debugged (scott/wright) Effective Perl (Hall/ Schwartz) Debugging Perl (brown) o-o perl books (really well-written but I'm not going to represent that these books are easy to read), O-O Perl (Conway) Learnign Perl O-O (Randall schwartz) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
