I like perl!!
i have this book which i started READING a while back and then got bored, today i picked it up and worked with it, and i finally came up with my own perl script!! Wooo hoo!
Tip to anyone that is about to start out, actually dont make the scripts that they show you how to make, make something you need and its alot more interesting

Welcome DoubleOK. I too, just learned PERL. And I have to agree with you. I bought a PERL book and used it to make my own script. Worked on it for about 4 weeks, but it worked fairly well. Now I have 2 PERL books, a PHP book, and an ASP book(err..). They all are indespensable.
Just wanted to throw in what little brains I got left.

Well, I just picked up perl a few months ago using free resources on the internet. I do that all the time! Don't forget to use the resources on the internet, free books, tutorials, scripts and more!
I agree with DoubleOK. I learnt (and still learn) by creating my own scripts. If I get stuck, I search for a solution in some mailing list archive, or I BUG my perl mentor
Chomp removes newline(char 13) & char 10 from a variable I think.

chomp($string) will remove the last character from $string ONLY if that character is a newline \n. chop($string) will remove the last character from $string regardless of what it is.
