What is this "definitive resource" and what resource would you recommend for learning perl? I'm learning now (self-teaching) and don't want to learn the wrong way.
Here's the book I've been using: http://bixsolutions.net/ http://bixsolutions.net/
- Mithaldu 13y agoI do not remember the exact title anymore. It was a book that taught how to build web applications by interleaving data retrieval and html printing, instead of building it up in proper MVC fashion, to name one example of the damage it did. As for learning Perl, the best resource is http://perl-tutorial.org http://perl-tutorial.org You will find an explanation there of how to judge a learning resource and a list of the most current texts that teach modern Perl.
- adrianhoward 13y agoThe two books I'd strongly recommend: * chromatic's "Modern Perl" - which has a free CC licenced version (although it would be nice for you to pay some money to support the good work of the author and publisher ;-) http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html * Curtis Poe's "Beginning Perl" http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781118013847/ http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/9781118013847/ (Bias warning: Curtis is a mate - but it is a very good book on the topic. Honest ;-)
