From: rakesh sharma Hi
I am a new to perl. Wanted to know how to master some of the daily used perl libraries. Most of the examples are different in usage, some are OO and others are scalar. Some of the Perl modules offer just a functional interface, so no OOP, some of them are just OOP and some of them offer bot the OOP and functional interface. "Scalar" refers to something else. I want to learn the OO way of perl. Usually by learning OO way means learning how to create your own Perl modules so they offer an OO interface. If you just want to use already made Perl modules, you need to use their documentation on cpan.org. If some of the modules don't offer an OO interface, you can't use them in OO way. Eventually you can create your own OO modules and wrap those non-OO modules in them. Any tips? Right now I open the file and see the usage or prod the net. But the learning remains incomplete. What do you feel that is missing? Most of the perl books speaks stuffs in general and do not target the libraries. There are very many Perl libraries, so it would be hard to cover them all. Some books talk about using some most-used Perl modules, but usually they don't explain how to use them because there is documentation for them on CPAN. You can give some examples of Perl modules that you don't understand how to use and maybe there will be list members who have experience with them and can help you. Octavian
