Welcome! Perl is a great first language.
My question is, where do I go after /Learning Perl/, and more
importantly, at what point do I start telling prospective employers that
I am competent with perl? I need a rubric. My current plan is just to go
through /Intermediate Perl/ and then write something cool.
/Modern Perl/ is a very good suggestion from Noah.
Just a start at what to dig into next:
* CPAN: http://metacpan.org and http://search.cpan.org
* cpanm: using CPAN
* Moose: (post)modern object system
Does /Learning Perl/ cover objects? If not, Intermediate should. It's
certainly worth grokking classic (non-Moose) objects in Perl.
* http://www.perl.org/learn.html
* perlbrew: staying up to date with new Perl releases
* perldoc + Pod::Cpandoc for seamless reading of module doc you don't
have installed (yet!)
Hopefully that helps point you in the next direction a bit. Scratching
an itch (aka writing something cool ;-) is often a good way to explore a
language and tends to find more motivation than, say, trolling the bug
tracker for random bugs to fix.
Cheers,
Thomas
