Ok, so today we got the spec for our first part of the group projects module, which basicly goes "Ok, we want you to automate the university timetable construction process. Oh, and we want it web based. Oh yes, in PERL please. Also, we're not going to teach you PERL."
Soooooooooooooo.
I've found no end of reference sites listing functions in categories, alphabetically, by number of inputs they take, by what colour boxers the programmer was wearing when he wrote them - but nowhere can I find a decent site that gives PERL syntax.
The kind of thing I'm looking for are just a couple of example of how the basics work (things variable types and declaration, operators such as if, for, while etc).
thanks.
