Here are links to documents that I consider the greatest because they are written better and more clearly than others and shed a whole lot of light on their respective subjects. No need to worry about wasting paper and ink printing these out.</center></font></p><b> <font size=-1><a href="">perldsc:</a> Excellent overview of nested data structures. Chock full of great code examples.<br><br> <font size=-1>[Using (s)printf()]: If there's one part of the perldoc that sucks, its the one that documents how sprintf/printf work. Fortunately, [turnstep] has put together this nifty tutorial to fill the hole. <br><br> <font size=-1>[Benchmarking your code]: [turnstep] does it again! I always wondered how to time your code and this excellent tutorial got me started faster than the amount of time it took to execute my crap code just once! <br><br> <font size=-1>[|Chapter 3, Advanced Perl Programming]: If you are still scratching your head about Typeglobs and Symbol Tables, look no further. This chapter alone was worth the price of the book. Extremely clear and well written. <p>&nbsp;</p> <center>More to come (but don't hold your breath): Last updated July 2, 2001</center> </font> </b> </td> </tr> </table> <p>&nbsp;</p> <b>Check out my Perl "Brain Teaser" problems</b><br> [72489|Brain Teaser #0---The "Proposal Problem"]<br> [72605|Brain Teaser #1---Little Stumper]<br> [72671|Brain Teaser #2---Just for Newbies?]<br><p> <b>Brief bio:</b><br> ---Navy...subs...reactor operator...6 years<br> ---SoCal party guy...student...1 year<br> ---Labor organizer...2 years<br> ---Occ.
