Perl is in our Programming Languages group, a long list of resources for learning particular programming languages. We only know each item's title, short description and level from our list.

Is it for me?
It is for anyone ready to learn a language. Most items are Intermediate, so some coding experience helps. The Beginner items are the best start, and it suits about age teen+ and up.
Grown-ups: you may need to help install software. Please check the site first.
