I will say that I started using Perl5 recently (big python fan). I expected everything to be crusty and bad. CPAN worked great, and the doc...my GOSH the doc is sooo good. It is everywhere. In my command-line, gazzillions of websites. I forgot what it was like to not be dependent on StackOverflow.
- collyw 11y agoPerl Monks is far better than Stack Overflow for Perl questions, as they actively encourage the discussion that Stack Overflow avoids, leading to a greater understanding afterwards as opposed to just something that works.
- Montezuma123 11y agoI can't count the # of times a super helpful question was closed on StackOverflow for being "off topic" or being likely to cause a flame war. I do like Perl Monks, but wish the format was a little different UI wise. Def still usable though.
