[ale] Perl guide

[Jerry Z. Yu]

one colleague at work thinks 'learning perl for win32' or 'perl for win32'
is much better starter book. Kudzu (chamblee plaza?)  has it at 5 or 6
bucks. more to-the-point examples, coverage of perl terms/defs.

I myself started with 'man perl' with perl4, 'man  perlfunc
| perlop | perldata | perlre' with perl5. If you are familiar with C-like
languages, it is easy to grasp the spirit of it. several C programmer at
work reported so.

I guess that all depends on where you were from :-)
