A Starting Point for Learning Perl

Welcome to the Perl Primer. My name is Jeff and I had been in the process learning Perl/CGI since March of 1997. Having had no prior programming experience, it was a rough road. I've found that most of the innumerable resources on the Internet are for people who are already programmers. I hope to meet some of the needs of beginners who are learning Perl.

I've since switched my programming education efforts to PHP and MySQL. I find PHP easier to learn and like the fact that it was designed specifically for Web development. If you think you might be interested in learning PHP please see my PHP >start here Web site. Otherwise, I hope this site is helpful.

"I might be able to shoehorn a reference count in on top of the numeric value by disallowing multiple references on scalars with a numeric value, but it wouldn't be as clean. I do occasionally worry about that."

You might also enjoy a Mad Lib script I wrote. It's supposed to be for kids but I've found that adults enjoy it just as much.
