But I've got some problems, i'd like to say first that i'm using activePerl , under windows.
remember everyone started some place.
for O'Reilly, i couldn't subscribe or even have the 14 days trial because i don't have a credit card.. :(
you might want to check out your local book store, as you will ultimately want to purchase a few basic books that will just wind up being around 'for the duration'. Ultimately you will want to get "Programming Perl, 3rd Edition", you would probably do well to get the learning perl for win32, and then on to 'Perl Objects'...
The other trick is to use the available 'online' information that should be accessible through 'perldoc' on your machine, or you can read it online at:
<http://www.perl.org/>
which of course will recommend <http://learn.perl.org> and more links... Since you are working with 5.6 you might want to browse your way through
<http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6/>
where you can read the 'POD' { Plain Old Documentation }....
I have a question, because really i couldn't help myself...
don't feel bad, Perl is it's own 12-step programme, and we all keep planning on gettin cured any day now. Trust us, we can all give up coding any time we want....
I don't know where to write the Perl code...
Well there are three core rules to always keep in mind
/Project/<name_of_project>/[files for project]
/src/tarBalls/[tarballs of projects worth keeping about]
/src/<language>/Examples/[ short files with illustrations of useful bits ]
/MuckingAbout/[files we were just mucking about with, not a project yet]
Remember you are the person who will have to find them when you have that moment about
"oh FreeMonge, I did that trick once...."
So if you keep your Projects seperate from your src code tree, and those separated from your directory for just mucking about, then you should be able to keep them nice and tidy.
Granted, more of us are hanging out the 'useful bits' as web pages so we can use web-search technology on our own site to get us clues which bits were useful...
[..]it may sound weird, but it's true.. I've got something called : "Perl Package manager", in activestate activeperl 5.6 I don't know what to say but i need someone to tell me from where to start...
In the Beginning Coding was harder,
Now we have Perl, and it's just sillier and sillier.
