Hi i am basically a a system administrator, and i have just joined this new company where my entire team are a group pf developers + system admins and i am the only system admin with out programming knowledge . i know a little of shell scripting from my previous company and i thought shell scripting was king ... but having joined this company every one is using a lot of persl to do a lot of log parsing ... DB interaction and lot of cool hashes related stuff ... but last one year i am trying to learn this language but dont seem to get a hold of it . sometimes i fell shell-scripting a is a lot more better and easier .. but my aim is to learn perl scripting ... i mean how does one get a real hold of this language ... !!
