Learning Perl and CGI

I'd consider myself a PHP guru. I'm slowly taking up python as well. Now, I need to learn Perl & CGI to edit and continue working on some web applications which are about to be assigned to me.

I bought PeachPit's "Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web" by Elizabeth Castro, but that basically defines the types of variables, shows how a param function works (barely) and that's it. The book ends. Most definitely a waste of money. Yet, there's almost no other books on perl / CGI that I can find to purcahse.

So my question to you guys here at /prog/ is, how do I learned Perl and CGI for use in web applications?

didn't you hear?

Python is the new Perl

>>2

Yep, that's why I've already jumped the gun to start learning python. However, as I noted, I'm going to be working on a web app for a company that's already been worked on for a good amount. That'd entail thousands upon thousands of lines being rewritten into a different language, and I doubt they're going to want to go for that...

Beggers can't be choosers, I suppose, lol.

>>5
Yes they can.  That is the entire point of 4chan.

No >>2 FOIC is not the new Perl; you are an ignorant faggot.

You're right, FIOC is much, much better than Perl ever was.

>>12
I find FIOC... a bit ... verbose <_<

>>13
You're a moron. I'm taking away your right to have an opinion on anything until you can demonstrate you know how to use it responsibly.

Go back to /g/ please.

Nice job responding to a 4 year old post.
