Chris -- ...and then Chris Roubekas said... % % Hi again! Hi! % % Well I had this thirst to learn Perl. I have never programmed before and I would like Good for you! :-) % to learn as much as possible about Perl since I constrantly read about it during % the messages in this group and all over the internet. It's good stuff, all right :-) Once you learn perl, you'll also find php very easy to pick up (php is very perl-like), and so for your next trick you can start writing dynamic web content easily. % % Can someone point me to a good manual that I could download, or perhaps a good % site?? The best resource, hands down, is "Learning Perl" published by O'Reilly. It's not that expensive and if you're serious about jumping in then you'll find yourself referring to it (and to its companion "Programming Perl") frequently. There are a number of tutorials and docs on the web regarding programming in Perl, from the ground level to specific, esoteric applications. You might surf over to perl.org and see what that have under their tutorials, or just start with a google search for "perl introduction tutorial" or similar. % % Thanx. % Chris HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * There is too much animal courage in (play) davidtg@justpickone.org * society and not sufficient moral courage.
