I'm on NT and I got it because it was the NT version of Learning Perl. I think it's the same book but edited for NT users. And it's the exercises that are killing me!! I feel that I've got but then when I do an exercise BAM! Wrong answer! I think I'm just getting a little frustrated but I KNOW I can do this!

Go and buy learning perl from oriely. You can whip through this book in a day or two and it will lay down all of the ground work for you. Plus it is setup with exercise at the end of every chapter. Then after you finish the book make up a project and try to apply everything you learned in a practical sense. Do it without the book. The go back through the book on the relative chapters and see how you could have done it better. -----Original Message----- From: Anthony Beaman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2003 8:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mastering "Learning Perl on Win 32 Systems" Any advice on getting through the LP/Win 32 book? I know I can do it but I'm getting tripped up. I've moved on to other chapters and I'm about to read Chapter 7 but I still haven't gotten arrays and hashes. My study routine consists of reading and taking notes; studying the notes; going through and coding the examples and exercises. Any advice on learning to program and using my time wisely? I've searched for a "How to learn to program" FAQ or guide/tutorial but to no avail. My goals are to move on to Programming Perl, Network Programming with Perl (Stein's book), and one of Roth's Win32 admin books but I keep falling down.
