Hi Randal, While the books are great - I saw this great idea over at the Python community. Someone came up with a list of ten small programs in python, each introducing a core part of the language. This was added to the wiki over at - http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimplePrograms . It now contains programs in incresing no. of lines of code.
That's a great way to quickly get up to speed on the feel and ways of a language. Please do take a look and something like this for Perl would be brilliant! :) Since, I'm still getting to know the ropes, i thought i'd drop in this request.
