 Hi, some of my students are asking for examples of longer perl
 programs which show some of the choices and methodology of
 professional programmers - I have some of my own, but I'd like to show
 them others as well.
 
 Are there any somewhat longer perl scripts available which I can use
 in my course work?

How long do you want them?

You could use the nms programs.

 they currently have 4 perl books (and a couple in the 
 works i think) and IMO all are winners, the above 2 and 
 elements of programming with perl and extending and 
 embedding perl. pretty good batting average.

Manning currently have six Perl books out:

* Object Oriented Perl
* Elements of Programmnig with Perl
* Data Munging with Perl
* Web Development with Apache and Perl
* Graphics Programming with Perl
* Embedding and Extending Perl

I haven't read the last two yet, but the first four are all pretty
strong. Of course, I'm slightly biased :)

MJD's talk on the subject is essential reading.

 I have also heard that Gellyfish, Damian and Schwern all give superb
 presentations.

Er... whoever told you that may have been being ironic - tho' it's
certainly true of Damian and Schwern.
