Perl

Where I can find good tutorials about Perl ?? Could anyone help me ??

ThanX...

:confused:

I can't remember the author, but the best book I've seen is Perl 5 by Example. I bought it on Amazon and I've been able to figure everything out that I need from that one book. The cover is red with white text.

B-Man

Why not try searching google.com? Maybe learning how to use a search engine would be a better start than learning a scripting language?
Example: "Perl 5" +"Tutorial"

Ok... Thanx for the help JParker... But I just was to know if any of you could help with a really good one... not any one ! Understand ?

O'reilly probably make the most authorative books on perl

http://www.oreilly.com/

Perl sites:

http://www.perl.com - Would you have guessed it?
http://www.google.com/ - Search for Perl

pwaring

petemcevoy is correct. The most highly regarded Perl book I've seen is Learning Perl 3rd edition by Randal L. Schwartz, Tom Phoenix is considered to be the best. (it's 4 stars based on 180 reviews at Amazon) I used it to start self-teaching myself Perl and it's easy read as well as good labs or exercises.

You should be able to go to sites like www.perl.com or others afterwards for more advanced topics. Alternatively you can check out either Programming Perl or Perl Cookbook (also O'Reilly publications) for more advanced Perl knowledge.

Yep, right on the money, you want to learn Perl I would highly suggest buying Learning Perl, and then Programming Perl (both O'reilly books)

After that, go to www.perlmonks.org

made for beginners
learn.perl.org

Also I visit Perl Monks everyday.

web monkey
web monkeys link above is good page for learning stuff for the web like javascript cgi etc thought you might like to know

First of all "The Camel Book" (AKA Programming Perl) by Wall, Christianisen, and Orwant is the definitive Perl tutorial. Nothing else comes close.

Second of all, newbies shouldn't start with Perl. It's a great tool for making quick hacks, but it's a very eclectic language (Perl stands for Pathological Eclectic Rubbish Lister) with insane amounts of syntax and it will make things harder for you in the long run. Learn Scheme, then Python, then C/C++, then Perl.
