[pm-h] Introductory Perl Help

[K Mitsch]

I'm working my way through Learning Perl at the moment and am new to
programming so I feel like I can benefit from just about any guidance I can
get.  I would take advantage of either a monthly meeting or a hangout/IRC
room.

Between Perl Monks, other online resources, and the folks I've met here in
Houston already I don't feel like it is a struggle to find someone to ask
specific questions of, for dealing with a problem or confusing topic.  I
think I would get more out of a session that covered some of the projects
and applications for Perl that are at beginner/intermediate level.
Analyzing some code, best practices, tips and tricks kind of thing.
