- In the Humble Opinion of someone who's trying to climb up that sucker
- himself: the quickest and best way to learn a programming language is
- to use it to write the kind of programs that interest you. After
- getting semi-familiar with the kind of things Perl is good for, try
- rewriting some of your previously-written small C programs or shell
- scripts in Perl.
