You guys are a bunch of hypocrites.
Okay, so Shlomi didn't link to the "holy" learn.perl.org site. Big
deal. Its his site, it is a self-contained learning site and he doesn't
feel his audience has anything to gain by going to learn.perl.org. And
to be perfectly honest, trying to learn perl from learn.perl.org is a
waste of time, its just a bunch of ads for Books.
I guess Randal is upset because Shlomi isn't sending traffic to a site
that promotes his own Book(s).... That can be bought from Amazon....
Yes, Shlomi's site states the obvious, and alot of the examples can be
found in perldoc's. But his audience doesn't know about perldoc, so its
a great resource for someone who has no perl book and no experience -
and wants quick access to some real Perl help with some real examples.

Unless it's hidden, I'm not finding any obvious link there to the
defacto standard location for Perl beginners, <http://learn.perl.org>.
I think this represents broken integrity on your part, since you
appear to be trying to replace learn.perl.org, not supplement it, so
you're attempting to fracture the community, not enhance it.
If you add a prominent link to learn.perl.org, I will withdraw my
complaint.
