Teach me Perl niggas

2015-08-28 at 9:10 PM UTCSo I have a project I want to work on but it's source is in Perl. I have some python experience but no functional knowledge of Perl. Any yall niggas worked with or know much about this language? Any resources, write up and such would be much appreciated.

2015-08-28 at 11:04 PM UTCI have no experience with perl myself, but the official site seems informative enough.

Cool, anything specefic you're looking to write? -
2015-08-29 at 1:03 AM UTCYeah the project I am working on is to modify a version of the text board software Kareha. What I want to do is add subforums and some other features. Im not sure how big a project it will be or if I am in over my head but it seems simple enough in theory.
I may actually end up rewriting the base of the thing in python and expanding it to fit my needs. Not sure yet as I am still in the early stages of it.

2015-08-29 at 1:36 AM UTCSo the canonical resource is "the camel book", or Programming Perl by Wall himself. That's where most crusty old perl hackers learned it. I can't really speak to how good it is, I've never read it. O'Reilly books tend to be dense and not particularly didactic but this might be an exception. I learned the language from this thing: http://www.cbkihong.com/download/perltut.pdf which is pretty straight forward, I liked it at least.
Perlmonks is always a good resource if you want to broaden your mind a bit, and they have tutorials, but honestly just the community there is, in my opinion, one of the real strengths of the language.
If you have questions about a particular piece of code feel free to post them. I can also give you the handful of folklore around the language, but if you're learning it for a specific project that probably wouldn't mean much. -

why specifically do you want to learn perl? Like, everything Perl can do is supported in Python; it was made to be the successor language. And all the AI logic is built in Python, as well as web stacks like django and I think Flax... it's called.
Are there any MVC web stacks written in Perl? Probly not. -

2024-05-10 at 11:22 PM UTCFor the record I know almost nothing about actually writing python, never done it in school or at work. I'm gonna be learning it going back to school this fall.

2024-05-11 at 3:39 AM UTCyeah perl is almost only used for backend automation nowadays
it's always been popular with sysadmins, now it's the only place it's universally used
