perl journals

[Alythh]

I am a Perl beginner, interested in learning more.
Apart from reading the usual books/docs, I would like to find on the
web some periodic Perl journal, I find that this is often the best way
to learn new tricks in new languages.
Unfortunately TPJ is not free, do you know about some good free
periodic journals?

Thanks for your help

Apart from reading the usual books/docs, I would like to find on the
web some periodic Perl journal, I find that this is often the best way
to learn new tricks in new languages.

Unfortunately for the poorer among us, TPJ is it. That said, however,
Randal "I have a column about that." Schwartz has a whole stack of his
columns from TPJ, Linux Magazine, and SysAdmin Magazine on his web site:

http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/

The sheer amount of interesting reading there is breathtaking. And it's
free.

I've found that the best way to learn new tricks is to read this newsgroup
and join http://www.perlmonks.org Have a look at the Tutorials section on
that site for lots of new tricks.

Best,

Damon

You old dogs and your "new tricks". All the cool kids today learn Perl by
posting moronic questions while creating official clpm web sites... ; )

Yup! Thanks to arrangements with publishers.

And if you'd rather have the best of those in dead tree form,
you can already preorder the book from Apress:

print "Just another Perl [column] author,"

As a matter of fact, I would. It's difficult and embarrassing to drag my
computer into a toilet stall, and power outlets are usually not conveniently
located.

You need a laptop with wireless and a good battery. The sense of
embarassment will fade with time. ;-)

.... and a slow processor.

The fast ones are hot enough to burn a bare lap top.

I'm not sure whether I should be pleased or disturbed that you're
wanting to read my writings in the stalls.

Hey! Even though you don't check out the tutorials there, it's still one
of the best perl sites around. Many of the best known Perl People hang
around there (as well), such as Randal Schwartz ("merlyn"), Abigail
("Abigail-II"), Damian Conway ("TheDamian"), Dan Sugalski ("Elian"), and
even Larry Wall himself (no I won't tell his username here. It's a
public secret. ). Plus there's lots more interesting people you've
likely never even heard of. (Far from all have years of Perl under their
belt. That doesn't make them less interesting, only less of a guru.)
