Subject: Sam Hughes' perl tutorial considered harmful
Your documentation refers people to Sam Hughes' Perl "tutorial". This document is littered with technical inaccuracies and other inaccuracies that will lead new programmers down the wrong path. Please consider something community-accepted like Modern Perl, which is also freely available.

APEIRON, Thank you for you input. I very much appreciate it and your thoughts into consideration. The link was not directed to programmers, just to people who might like to try some light scripting for magical purposes. While I will think about changing the link, and while I LOVE Modern Perl, I also think doing things the 'wrong' way is sometimes better: http://blog.yapcna.org/post/17142944408/when-wrong-is-better -Gordon On Tue Jan 31 18:33:04 2012, APEIRON wrote: Show quoted text
