Dear All,
I am a Perl beginners, and I have heard about Minimal Perl. Could you,
please, let me know if that would be a good option for a beginners start
learning/practice Perl? Or that 'flavour' of the language would work
better for more advanced programmers.
I don't think there is such thing as a recognized subset of Perl that
is worthy for beginners or advanced users. You may always use how much
Perl you are comfortable with. This is something recurring in what
Perl authors and developers say all the time.
Well, there could be some "Minimal Perl" that one author or other
tried to define and then said "this is what beginners should look for
at first". But this is no consensus among Perl programmers and
probably not adequate for everyone.
While we're on this, there is a miniperl that is compiled during the
compilation of the Perl interpreter itself that implements a useful
subset of the language, strong enough to equip the build process with
advanced capabilities. This is a tool for the developers of the Perl
core and not useful outside this context IIRC.
Kind regards,
Adriano Ferreira.
