Hi all -

I would like to recommend "Effective Perl Programming" by Joseph N. Hall
with Randal L, Schwartz, Addison-Wesley, 1998, ISBN 0-201-41975-0. Although
"old", it has really helped my style.

I was raised with c. My early Perl efforts were very c-ish. For example, to
print an array I went from:

for (my $i = 0; $i < scalar (@array}; $i++) {
        print ("$array[$i]\n");
        }

to:

print "$_\n" for (@array);

Now, if I could just find a book that would tell me how to condense this
further to:

;

and having got that far, remembering that the trailing semicolon in a block
is optional, to:



But in all seriousness, EPP is very helpful.

Aloha - Beau.
