Its been 4 years since i started my career, PERL was one of the theory subject in 7th semester B.E. All these years I enjoyed coding in PHP a lot and its very exciting to work on it.

But in Yahoo! i just see lot of very interesting tools been developed in PERL, i always thought why couldn’t it be coded in PHP? may be since i was from PHP programmer i always asked that question myself, but i see lot of my colleagues do lot of coding in PERL, pretty excited about it but not want to give up comfort zone, finally after 11 months i gave a try, i completed my first package done entirely coded in PERL.

I just entered the world of PERL, if you are a PHP programmer and feel PERL is not what you want to learn since you know PHP? I would recommend you give a try, you would love both PHP and PERL.

The best book for beginners in PERL is -
Learning PERL
