Anton, you won't learn much useful Perl without a goal or target. You need to have something to write, test and implement. THEN you get an understanding of Perl. In fact, to get it to the point where the learned skills are good enough to put on a CV, I'd do a series of projects - starting with small but then including lots of CGI, lots of modules, some language bindings and quite a bit else. Perl is not a small language - once you add in the various implementations, IMHO it is more the size of C than PHP. I know a bit of Perl, I'm comfortable using it in various projects and it's a key part of one of my own projects. However, I would not consider my (8) years of Perl as extensive or even representative of what Perl can actually do. I wouldn't put it on my CV. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.dcglug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.neil.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
