This subtitle is for PHP programmers who wish to learn Perl. I decided to write it because in theory PHP and Perl are both script languages which have a lot in common, yet there are many PHP programmers who find Perl difficult, if not impossible to learn. (Interestingly this is usually not true vica-vesa.)
I assume:
- you know PHP well
- you do not know Perl, but wish to learn it
- you have access to a computer where you can run the Perl interpreter
Most of the time I will be comparing PHP constructs with theis Perl equivalents. Later it's going to be about Perl constructs and features that you do not find in PHP. Enjoy!
