I've been thinking that maybe this would be better served if I put it on a wiki or something that allowed people to add corrections and improvements. But I have no idea how a wiki works or how I would convert one large Open Office document into a wiki, and then how to convert it back to Open Office again. The point of that being to be able to upload the changes to Lulu and offer a book version of the document. Can a wiki keep track of changes, and undo some and keep others? Anyway, it was intended to be a one-stop-shopping for someone who wanted to learn perl from zero. i.e. this would get you up and running to the point that you understood all the basic concepts of perl. It doesn't go into web programming or anything like that, it's all generic perl that pretty much anyone could use. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
