At least, it did to me. well, i can't judge that site because i don't speak japanese. but i will strongly differ with your view about learning perl from web tutorials. i have seen dozens of them and reviewed many on usenet. 99% of them stink to high heaven. they are full of mistakes, bad perl, old perl, and are written by people who are self deluded into thinking they know how to teach, write and know perl. too many suffer from coding in a vacuum syndrome where they learn and use perl in isolation and never get peer review. few if any of those 'authors' are active in any perl community, have modules on cpan, etc. this isn't a joke, it is a sad thing. not that i am against perl tutorials, just that almost all of them are so bad. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ [email protected] -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
