Greetings, camel-heads!
This thread is for people who have the basics of Perl under their belt. I'm going to assume that you've got an understanding of variable types, control structure, built-in function calls, and subroutines. If not, then
THIS THREAD is the one for you.
Assuming you've got all that under your belt, here's what I intend to cover in this thread (in no particular order):
- Regular Expressions
- Variable References (unless Juan does that in the other thread)
- Nested data structures
- Applications for Perl (CGI, Data Munging, Database Interfaces)
- Using Object-Oriented Perl Modules
We'll save the creation of OO modules for the "so you want an ADVANCED perl lesson do ya?" thread.
Juanvaldez and I may be trading some of these topics off. Any other JAPH's who want to contribute, just PM him or me and say what topic you're interested in taking.
I intend to start with Regular Expressions, probably a couple-three little lessons on them.
