Honestly, the easiest way to learn is to get a hold of some perl code and mess around with it.

Perl is an easy and simple language to pick up. No real need for an online tutorial or course. The llama book (O'Reilly) is a good source though.

Perl really isn't that complicated, aside from things like regular expressions.

I don't know a URL off-hand, but search for "Robert's Perl Tutorial"... I learned the basics from there.

And why does everyone say regular expressions are tough? The basics, and even the mid-range stuff, is just a matter of memorizing and systematically applying syntax.

I have the be-all and end-all solution to your question.

Actually I'm not sure if all of this CGI stuff is in Perl but I believe it is. If it's not, someone let me know.

Its annoying when people say which is better x or y, and someone says z.
But I agree python is a lot better in many ways. It might be worth learning, especially if you don't already know a scripting lang

Yeah, a lot of it is easy after you understand it, but when you first see: $string =~ m/<[\w]+[^>]>.*<[\/[\w]+>/; it's overwhelming, and it takes a while to figure out something useful from that.
