Hello Mongers, I am rather new to Perl and becoming more interested in learning what Perl can do. I was impressed with the level of knowledge that the Boston PM members have, and would like to know how I can get to that level. Hope you don't mind posting this message here for the audience with high level of technical skills, but my question is "how did you reach to the level that you are at?"
I have been self-teaching the Perl language by reading books and doing search on the Internet; but all I do at this point is rather writing a script to QA translated resource files (I am a software localization engineer working for a company which translates software into foreign languages) or manipulate resource files based on software developer's requests. Perl is used in many areas like web application, process automation and etc, and I am interested in learning those areas that I haven't learn yet. If somebody could give me a piece of advice or two, it would be greatly appreciated. Did you just learn by yourself by writing codes? Did you take any classes? Did you learn by working for a company where senior level engineers give you guidance? Again, I apologize in advance if this type of posting is not suitable for this mailing list.
