Hi all. I'm working on SEOing a website for a client and part of the site is perl based. I have need of a good reference/tutorial/beginners-guide-to book on perl for a short term borrow (I prefer hard-copy manuals to the web where possible) to get me up to speed so that I can optimise this site without causing headaches for the client. Can anyone help out? I've had a quick glance through the WLUG library and can't seem to find anything (I'm gonna have another in-depth look but I don't recall seeing any books on Perl in there and I know I haven't ordered any recently. J -- James Pluck PalmOS Ergo Sum Laurence J. Peter - "It's better to have loved and lost than to have to do forty pounds of laundry a week."
Hey James, I think i have what you want somewhere about. Ill have a look when i get home and let you know. One of those sams learn perl in 24 hours or similar :) Liz James Pluck wrote:

At LCA, I went to a presentation by Paul Fenwick from this company: http://perltraining.com.au/ There are a lot of resources linked from their site for noobs and experts alike. Paul was a really good presenter and makes PERL sound exciting, which is quite a feat considering all the buzz over other languages like python/ruby/java etc... Here is a link to the talk he gave: http://linux.conf.au/programme/schedule/view_talk/175 I'm still looking for a copy of his slides/video of the talk, I'd like to see those. He talked a lot about moose: http://www.iinteractive.com/moose/ I enjoyed him talking about this tip on error handling, something about programming I've always found annoying is error handling/exceptions, and this takes a bit of the pain out of it: http://perltraining.com.au/tips/2008-08-20.html And the best example of sysadmin laziness I think I've seen yet: http://search.cpan.org/~pjf/App-SweeperBot/ If you like to play minesweeper, but are too lazy to actually play it.

Paul will be in New Zealand for the next fortnight - not sure if he's flying around or rental car-ing.. someone may want to invite him to speak @ LUG. On Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:26:11 John Billings wrote:
