While I was home on R&R I picked up Learning Perl for kicks. I figured hey, I suck at 2 languages already, why not strive to suck at more? The book is actually pretty good, save for a pretty major omission of one single print; in an excerise solution from Chapter 9, it’s been very clear and provided everything needed to come up with a solution to the exercises without cheating and checking the back. At any rate, I’m nearly finished w/ the book – and I kinda like Perl.
