Know unix scripting somewhat ,now how to add perl to my skillset.
Hi All,
I have learned a bit of unix scripting since i have been working on it for the past 2 months. I would like to add perl to my skills.
I have read the O'reillys Learning perl book. Can someone suggest how to use this forum for facing newer challenges on a daily basis starting with the beginner level posts understanding.
The problem i am facing in this forum is that i am finding it difficult to find only perl related posts even after searching in this forum.
Also tried using the perlguru forum for this purpose but I see the difficult posts right in the start and dont seem to make any good headway in the right direction.

Please suggest the way forward for a perl novice like me!! Smilie

Thanks,
Kunwar

The thing is... Almost any problem that can be solved by AWK, sed or shell scripting, can also be solved by using Perl. You can try to apply Perl's solutions to some easy problems posted here, even if they already been solved by using languages mentioned above.
