A Brief Introduction to Perl Programming (by Trevelyn) (-c-) 2009

Anyone interested in learning Perl Programming - TRY MY GUIDE! I've written it in plain English with tons of examples and honesty.

http://weaknetlabs.com/texts/PDF/introduction2perl.pdf

seriously, its like 30 pages, not an alternative to a real Perl book (but will get you by) and i covered as much as i could think of, took 2+1/2 weeks to write.
Also, I have updated the http://www.weaknetlabs.com/texts/index.html page to kinda organize stuff and have a few new additions, including the SunRay Server 4.1 on Debian installation paper.

I'm up to page 14 and must say this is a damn good guide! Granted I already knew about general programming terms but nothing about Perl so this is awesome. I'm sure back when I took math they told me it was PEDMAS though...drugs sure make you stupid.

thank you

np! heh, if you print it out you can't put a normal staple through it, too many pages! i guess unless you duplex it's ass.

Nice manual!  Wish I would have had this 5 - 10 years ago when everything on my site was perl.

So I checked and found that apparently I remember PEMDAS as PEDMAS is because I was taught math in french. Apparently math still works if you say it that way. Stupid multiculturalism...
