What's the best online source to learn Perl? [closed]

Answer 1

I would very much recommend Programming Perl, but beware you may need a subscription to Safari in order to read it online.

Answer 2

If you are a beginner, I would suggest you take a look at the cookbook provided by PLEAC. You can find it at http://pleac.sf.net. There you can find cookbooks for most languages.

Answer 3

http://learn.perl.org/

From the Online Library:

• Beginning Perl
• Impatient Perl

Answer 4

I highly recommend starting with Simon Cozens' Beginning Perl book.

And also, reading the Perl documentation.

Answer 5

I realize that the question is about online sources, but I taught myself Perl in about three weeks thanks to the following books:

Learning Perl

Intermediate Perl

I already had a little bit of background knowledge in C, but the way these books teach is phenomenal. Scripts I've written in Perl are currently powering the data analysis process used by some instrument teams on the UA/NASA Phoenix Mars Lander - and I'm a junior in college! If it's good enough for NASA, it's good enough for you :)
