Hi, It really depends on the person all I can say that you cant know all, until you studied it of course on the first we will find it difficult, but i found PERL very useful and one of my favorite programming languages. As you said "time".

I find learning "advanced" concepts like modules and objects a bit difficult (Ok, I might be subjective due to the fact that I need to learn it a short time). I feel that maintaining Perl programs can be a tedious task (One thing I dislike about TMTOWTDI). Learning it can be a quite difficult too, given the myriad notations. This is comparing to other languages I've used such as PHP, C++ [I'm not that familiar with templates, but I managed to learn STL in a relatively short time as compared to some features in Perl] Too bad there's no "Intermediate Perl" available in China (I'm in China). I find learning Perl a bit difficult using the "Camel" book. I've also looked at http://perldoc.perl.org/ but I find learning via web difficult as compared to learning via reading a book. But maybe my difficulty is maybe due to lack of time and work load. Is learning advanced features of Perl this difficult? Thoughts? <Misc> Sometimes I find it amazing that some people in this list can have mastery of complicated programming language such as Perl given the fact there's a HORRIBLE shortage of computer books in the Philippines. Seems that the number of computer books in Philippine bookstores are DECREASING each year. Feel appalled about it.... </Misc> Regards, Ludwig Lim _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
