Perl myths

If you are a Perl professional and you feel that the way you and your co-workers use Perl is not entirely flawless, Tim Bunce’s slides about Perl myths are a must-read for you.

I stumbled over it, read the first few pages and greedily slurped it to the end. These slides contain some nice-to-know Perl details on their own, but their true value is their excellence as a collection of links to other Perl resources.

This includes resources that I already knew but didn’t really harness as well as ones I read about for the first time.

Linked topics include statistics about Perl jobs and CPAN, Perl Best Practices, Perl::Tidy, Perl::Critic, Test::*, Devel::Cover and finally Perl6.

If at least one of these is of any interest to you, you really should give these slides a try and follow some of the included links.
