I don't know if my answer would help. I was in the same shoes as you are. I was experienced in Java and not in Perl. My supervisor gave me a project to write JMS (Java Messaging Service) applications in perl, since it is much easier to access system resources in Perl. So, I used a Perl module called Inline::Java to access Java libraries from Perl. So, just pick one of your favorite Java projects where you had to access system resources (files, directories, command line options, processes etc. etc.), and do text processing (at which Perl happens to be really strong), and implement it in Perl. That way you can see how much easier Perl makes many things for you.

Hello all,

I am sure many before me asked this question. Could not locate it in
archive. So here I am.
I am new to Perl but not to programming. I have experience with software
development using Java and J2EE (back-end).

I want to learn Perl. I believe doing a project is the best way to learn it.
It gives me motivation to find out more about the language and use it.

So I am looking for good project. It will be even great if the project is
real-time and I can help fix or make something.
Can anyone please tell me about a project or point me to a place to find
one?

Thank you all in advance.
