Well, I'm not really advanced myself, but I can point you to some excellent Perl \
resources:

1) Monitor the comp.lang.perl.misc newsgroup if you can. I use the excellent free \
news.uni-stuttgart.de news server. You can't post, but that's no big deal. Get a \
decent news reader (like Free Agent, if you're on Win) and select those postings to \
read you have an interest in. Then save the postings that are especially interesting \
into directories, e.g. 'map', 'packages', 'regexen', etc. I've been doing this for \
about a year and have 1.5 Mb of code and examples saved. Hey, I'll zip and email it \
to you if you like :).

And, of course, dejanews!

2) Get Tom C's Perl Cookbook; for OO Perl, Damian Conway's Object Oriented Perl. Both \
are from O'Reilley.

3) There's tons of good stuff to read at http://www.perl.com You could spend hours \
there and never even scratch the surface.

Hope that helps.

Lou

PS -- I don't envy you your winters, but I'm sure I'd sure like to be up north when \
the sun begins to kick in around the end of June!
