Hi, all.

Just saying "Hello" to the list, as the new boy.  I'm keen to learn Perl as
my first programming language.  I've been using GNU/Linux since about '97,
and have done some Linux sys admin from time to time.

Cheers,

Chris.

I'm here as well.

 

At least, I think it's me....the password reminder said it was me.

 

Hello.

 

Cheers

Thanks, Pete.  I did consider Python as a first language, but didn't like
the "compiling" bit, all the time.  it does seem to be the language of
choice, at the moment. I understand that Perl may be a little more untidy,
but something jsut appeals to me.  Now I just need to try to get started.
Where does everyone congregate, if the mail list doesn't seem to be getting
used?

Cheers,

Chris.

Hi Chris,

I find python isn't to my taste, I think it's mostly subjective, as
perl and python both have trade-offs if you pick one, so you might as
well use what you find most comfortable (and/or will pay your
mortgage).

If you want to lurk and just absorb a little wisdom (and a lot of
sillyness, bad ideas and other noise) I'd suggest subscribing to
london.pm, devon/cornwall perl mongers is a bit busier than bath.pm -
heck we even had a few meetings last year, including a technical talk
by yours truly on Maypole.

There are a lot of perl beginners resources, but you could start with
http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners and
http://perl-begin.org/ and http://learn.perl.org/

Cheers,

A.

Aaron,

Thanks for the URL's, I'll have a look.  I'll probably steer clear of the
other list for now, as I probably need to get started on learning the
basics, rather than chatting :-).  As I said, something seems attractive
about Perl, so I'll give it a go.

heers,

Chris.
