Picking Up Perl, Edition 0.12, A Freely Redistributable Perl Tutorial Book


This site was created as an early distribution center for Picking Up Perl. Picking Up Perl is a freely redistributable tutorial book on Perl.

Currently, Bradley M. Kuhn is the primary author of the work. However, some others have contributed small patches, and lots of others have provided useful constructive criticism.

Currently, edition 0.12 of the book is available. Note that this book is still under development. Errors are likely, so read carefully.

Due to his current demanding job, bkuhn hasn't had time to work on the book in over a year. He hopes to get started again eventually, and has started a (currently empty) savannah project for PUP.

Announcements

Announcements of updates and changes to this book will be made here. Once work begins again on the book, the announcement list will be recreated.

Feedback

Feedback to this work is welcome and encouraged. You can give feedback via email. Please send it to pup-comments@ebb.org. If you have specific changes that fix code example bugs, typos or other small problems of that ilk, it would be appreciated if you would submit a patch to the Texinfo source rather than just an email. However, if you are confused by the patch instructions, an email is fine.
