Re: [TCLUG:11227] learning perl/python

["Chris Engstrom" <bl155@treewax.com>]

well i did take a class after a month learning on my own; after the class i
realized that i would have been beter off not taking the class. The class
was so generic that it just confused the issue.  My suggestion is getting
the O'Reily PERL cdrom set (its a good collection of books for a fair price
and its all HTML searchable) sitting down with that and writting code, that
should be a sufficient learning experence.
