Yes and No - There are some gotcha's depending upon which is your coding background. > 2. Are there any good websites about learning it PerlSonally I have been collecting some URL's at: http://www.wetware.com/drieux/pbl/perldoc/ you can start reading the information provided with perl with perldoc perl > 3. Is it worth learning As the general principle tool mongering language it is great for what it is. But this is as much a 'religious' question - since asking folks who code in perl if it is worth it is... bound to get you a 'yes' answer. There are things that you will absolutely need to know the assembler language for cutting specific 'bit flip tricks' for this or that CPU - and these are not things that you will want to do in perl. There are some tools out there in things like Java and Python that are not always worth the time to 'port' into perl - so if you are going to need to maintain them as 'software' you will of course need to know those languages.
