I maintain a site with resources for Perl beginners here: http://perl-begin.org/ You may wish to go over the pages for links and references. You can also see my recommendations for Perl (and other non-fiction books) here: http://www.shlomifish.org/philosophy/books-recommends/ I see you want to read other people's code and write some of your own. If you want, I have some Perl projects that may prove of interest to you and that I'd love to get some help with: 1. http://github.com/bricas/cpanhq/tree/master 2. http://github.com/shlomif/catable/tree 3. http://web-cpan.berlios.de/ (and http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/web-cpan/ ) There are many other Perl projects out there that people could use help with. Other than that, you may wish to read some of Ingy's code, which tends to be very high-quality: * http://search.cpan.org/~ingy/ (Although you should probably avoid using Spiffy for OOP.)
