I was led to believe that laziness, impatience and hubris were the three virtues of a good Perl programmer. The Camel Book defines each as 1. Laziness - the habit which motivates you to write code and automate things. This is what makes you code. 2. Impatience - the feeling you have when your computer is being lazy. This is what motivates you to write high performance code. 3. Hubris - the pride that your code quality is so hood that others cannot find flaws in it. To the OP, IMO the best resource to learn Perl is by reading the Programming Perl book published by Oreilly. It's a great introduction to Perl culture. Written by the creators of Perl and till date I have found nothing to better it. - Raja _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
