The first place to look is in the Perl documentation and Linux man pages. Perl, all of its documentation, and millions of lines of Perl programs are all available free on the Internet. A number of Usenet newsgroups are also devoted to Perl, as well as shelves of books and a quarterly journal. BooksAlthough your local bookstore might have dozens of titles on Perl, the following are some of the more highly recommended of these. You might also look at the Camel Critiques (Tom Christiansen; http://language.perl.com/critiques/index.html) for reviews of other available Perl books. • Advanced Perl Programming, by Sriram Srinivasan, O'Reilly & Associates • Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 21 Days, Second Edition, by Laura Lemay, Sams Publishing • Sams Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours, Second Edition, by Clinton Pierce, Sams Publishing • Learning Perl, Third Edition, by Randal L.

OtherOther valuable resources not falling into any of the preceding categories are Perl-related Internet Relay Chat channels. You can usually find several channels available on an IRC server. However, the questions, discussions, and focus of similarly named channels will vary from server to server. For example, a #perlhelp channel is usually for general questions about installing, using, and learning about Perl. A #perl channel is generally for more advanced questions, but on some servers beginner questions might be welcomed. You might also find some helpful answers on #cgi and #html channels. Browse to http://perl-begin.berlios.de/irc/ for a list of servers. |
