First my usage: Single user machines, home lan and basic networking. My specific perl usage is as often just something I want to do as it is some system oriented scripting. ------- ------- ---=--- ------- -------
I've been a perl user for several yrs, but never really stay programming steadily or even semi-steadily for very long at a time. A month would be a long time historically for me. And would likely be followed by many months or even a year or more of no perl activity. Consequently, all the cool little tricks one kind of stumbles on or more importantly, the piles of things learned on this list over years of following and using it seem to evaporate between engagements. I find myself having to ask about things I know I've learned before. And even things I've made notes about... I often find I've forgotten enough that my notes don't make any sense to me any more. OK, OK, so maybe I'm a little dimmer or down right thick skulled compared to most. Or even suffering from early onset senility... (I am 70 next March after all.. and it would be a nice face saving excuse...). BUT: is there some remedy in the way of keeping brushed up by weekly perl work or the like? I mean an organized sort of structured kind of setup where you are expected to program something to a spec determined by someone knowledgeable. Err... I guess I'm describing a perl class, but in my case it would have been the longest running `class' in recorded history... by now some 15 to 20 yrs. Somewhat embarrassing to admit the time frame and then have to see and know the miserably low skill level I've never broken out of or even maintained. So all and any ideas, suggestions etc would be well received on this end. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
