UNCLASSIFIED Beginning Perl is a great book to start out with. It gives great examples and explanations. You can probably find it at an online bookstore to buy (ISBN:1-861003-14-5)
It's also in online form here: http://learn.perl.org/library/beginning_perl/ Enjoy... -----Original Message----- From: Karen McAtamney [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 08, 2004 3:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Glossary I'm in the process of learning perl (hmm - right at the beginning of this process), and I'm having great difficulty working my way through the man pages. I'm a Windows user and perl is the first language I'm learning, so *everything* is new to me. I am also having to get to grips with using my shell account which is just adding to the difficulties. What would really make my life easier right now is a glossary of programming specific terms so that I'm not struggling to find meanings for the terminology used in some of the man pages (specifically I'm trying to work my way through man screen) every other word. Does such a glossary exist? I'm aware of the Jargon Files and I'm aware that many of these terms have man pages of their own (but my entire reason for reading man screen is to learn how to have different windows open with different things going on in each window!).
