Re: perl and search

Hi,

A good start would be "Mastering Perl 5" which I think is a good start for writing perl scripts.

To search a forum you could use the search function to the left or you could use google which also returns good and valuable links.

Re: perl and search

Hi:

The *search* button is to the left on any of these pages. For example, click it, check "Community Forums", Boolean search and enter the keywords "perl and learning". One of many references turned up is this:

I tried "Perl for Dummies" didn't really like it. "Effective Perl Programming" Is really good. If you already have programming background. I also advise taking the perl course from HP if you can. It is a really good couse.

Re: perl and search

If you want to *learn* perl from the on line documentation shipped with perl, start with the docs that end with 'tut' (for tutorial)

# man perlretut

regular expression tutorial

# man perlopentut

many ways to open files

PC03:/pro/local/man/man1 506 $ l *tut*
perldebtut.1 perlothrtut.1 perlreftut.1 perlthrtut.1
perlopentut.1 perlpacktut.1 perlretut.1 perlxstut.1
PC03:/pro/local/man/man1 507 $

skip the XS tut (highly complicated stuff for interfacing to the perl internals)

the thr tut's are only useful if you have a threaded perl

other nice ways to learn perl in practice without books are s2p (sed 2 perl) and a2p (awk 2 perl). Write your script in awk, use a2p and see how you would have done it in perl
Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
