Scripts
At Perl Monks and other places many interesting Perl-scripts can be found, small and big, varying from very handy oneliners to complete module libraries. Interesting sections at Perl Monks: Code, Snippets, Meditations, Craft and Seekers of Perl Wisdom. Perl Monks have a fun part: it is possible for people to value other people's contributions by casting a plus or minus vote on such "nodes". That way, a node can have a positive or a negative repuation. The higher the reputation, the more the node is valued by the Perl Monks. Of course this is a very subjective value system, but still, a node with a huge reputation can't be all that bad. Complete modules can be found at CPAN. A simple search elsewhere brings you many other scripts, for example at Google (oh, by the way, ignore Matt's Script Archive). Never be afraid to experiment, and don't give up when your first attempt results in an error message. You will learn a lot with Perl when you try to figure out why something doesn't work right away. You'll maybe even discover an error in somebody's script, and that's not just motivational, but also a sign that you're actually learning Perl. |
