practical perl guides.

Hi

Wanted to ask a question about practical beginners guides for perl. I
have found a read the baisc beginners guides here
http://www.perl.com/pub/2008/05/07/beginners-introduction-to -perl-510-part-2.html.

Was hoping to expand on this with some practical and hands on guides to perl.

personally I struggle to learn from the this is a language feature format like.

This is feature X
- this is an impractical example of using feature X.

This is feature Y
- this is an impractical example of using feature Y.

I am looking for a practical guide something that says here is a
example tasks you'll want to achieve this is how its put together and
here a some ways to alter it change it etc using these language
features... there you go son have a crack. Really if a language
feature confuses me I can more than likely find a library reference to
refer to for that.

Thanks in advance

Sayth

Would descriptions with exercises help? If so, then _Learning Perl_
should do well. There are a couple of nits (it suggests calling subs
with & which is unwise) but otherwise it's a fine text on which most of
the experts here cut their teeth. _Beginning Perl_ is another suitable
text (the first edition is available free online at http://p3rl.org/bp
).
