Perl Programming

[Josh123]

I'm currently looking for a free version of Perl to start to learn. I'm not looking for an Object Oriented version, just one with plain code I guess??? Also if you have any good tutorial websites please add the links.

Perl is perl, some of it is OOP and some isn't you can't really seperate them. And assuming you want perl for Windows you should look at ActivePerl from ActiveState.

I kinda like activestate's products. They've treated me well so far. 🙂

activeperl if you want it for windows. Pretty much every other operating system comes with it standard.
