Learning Perl

I've recently decided to learn Perl after hearing about its usefulness during a recent job interview.

I've found an online "book" called Beginning Perl (free). I plan to spend the following week reading this book to get a basic understanding of Perl.

So far I've installed a Perl distribution called ActivePerl for Windows so I can jump into programming without installing UNIX.

I'll eventually migrate to using Perl in UNIX/Linux so I can learn both at the same time.

I plan to document my progression on this blog, we'll see how it goes!
