| jrjazzman | initself: sorry, I got a perl project dumped on me and I'm trying to learn some basics |
| initself | jrjazzman: that's a great place to start Beginning Perl, Second Addition from Amazon is a good read. |
| jrjazzman | I read learning perl, but it was really basic. |
| simcop2387 | jrjazzman: have a look at this for some stuff on perl perlbot beginning perl |
| perlbot | http://learn.perl.org/library/beginning_perl/ |
| simcop2387 | its a good place to start |
| jrjazzman | programming perl seems to have a lot more |
| initself | jrjazzman: but checking the contents of a hashref/hash with Dumper is a great thing to konw. jrjazzman: programming perl is not for beginners |
| Angel-SL | initself: from the developer. |
| jrjazzman | I didn't even know about Dumper.. thanks |
| f00li5h | jrjazzman: but they're very different books |
| simcop2387 | Data::Dumper is very nice |
| initself | initself: not sure. someone might be able to help on #perlhelp on EFNet. Angel-SL: not sure. someone might be able to help on #perlhelp on EFNet. Hello, rnorwood! |
| jrjazzman | programming perl has a lot of stuff I need to know that learning perl does not. I could not have started with programming perl though. |
| initself | jrjazzman: like what? |
| jrjazzman | lot more detail on references, data structures, packages, oop, etc. |
| initself | That's why you need Beginning Perl, Second Edition by Apress. |
| jrjazzman | unfortunately, I don't have that book. And I have to get this done over the weekend. I should be ok. Is programming perl not sufficient? |
| action | sbingner thinks perl manpages cover most of what you need |
| sbingner | thinks perl manpages cover most of what you need |
| Daveman | simcop: gumbybrain it! |
| initself | jrjazzman: i think it is complex for a beginner. that's my opinion. |
| Daveman | err gumbybrain: simcop it! |
| GumbyBRAIN | The first says no spf record it might be a nice dinner out with it, and no it doesn't. |
| f00li5h | Daveman: GumbyBRAIN it! |
| jrjazzman | Anyone know if Soap::Lite knows how to serialize an array? |
| f00li5h | jetscreamer: i'm sure Soap::Lite knows wether it can or not |
| initself | jrjazzman: oh, so you are a capable programmer? then maybe Programming Perl is fine! |
| jrjazzman | I was getting an error, but I have no idea which package was reporting the error |
| initself | What's the error? |
| sbingner | jrjazzman, *chugh* perldoc Soap::Lite |
| jrjazzman | oddly, it was a de-serialization error. not sure what it was deserializing. the outbound call was never made. You need to install the perl-doc package to use this program. |
