I learnt perl at uni (BSc Hons Computer Systems & Networks - not much
actual programming - mostly C and C++), teaching myself in the 2nd
year from DDJ articles, a borrowed Llama book and the cookbook, before
I went on my placement and got sucked into london.pm, in my final year
I became more interested, doing my final year project and a few "spare
time" projects in Perl before landing a job working with the esteemed
messrs Cantrell and Clamp, from there I've learnt almost everything
from working with and talking to perl mongers, in between reading
perl.com and DDJ avidly.
