Best Place For Information On Perl I would like to learn Pearl

Recommended Posts

Hello,I would like to learn Pearl so that I can start working with CGI scripts so that I can in order to build a more inventive/interactive and dynamic website. I would like if someone could point me to a site were I can not only learn Pearl, but also download software to help devlop code. (An IDE of some type.)Thanks,Tim

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told you in your C++ thread: Unless you want to blow Mega-bucks on buying books, I'd do an extensive search in google for Online Perl Tutorials and Perl resources. The Net is one big open book and if you utilize it properly, you can find out anything you need to know for free. :rolleyes:

There are numerous good places to find perl tutorials. All of the ones suggested so far are excellent, as are pageresource.com and htmlgoodies.com Also, if you have any more specific questions, the people at this forum (and especially I) will be more than happy to assist you.However, I would also recommend that you look into PHP. I used to use perl because it was the only thing my hoster would allow, but since I've switched to Xisto I find php can do more things more simply. So I am not saying that either language is better, they both excel at certain fields, I am saying look into php and see if it wouldn't do what you want more easily.~Viz

http://www.devshed.com/ - although they do a lot more in depth articles and stuff now.Perl.org - well duhPerl is a powerhouse tool. I used it back in the day before PHP because it was the only tool really for CGI programming that was easily available. Still, all our in house OS X applications use PERL installer scripts (okay a couple are python). You can do a lot more with PERL than just web CGI stuff, it is an excellent log/text parsing language...I should say a powerful one. If your looking to do dynamic webpages, PHP I think is the way to go these days, but I havn't touched PHP in a couple years other than installing CMS systems like Mambo.
