Modern Perl is a mindset. It’s an approach to writing great software with the Perl programming language. It’s how effective Perl programmers write powerful, maintainable, scalable, concise, and excellent code. It takes advantage of Perl’s extensive library of free software (the CPAN) and language features designed to multiply your productivity.
In this course, you will cover a wide range of topics, including Perl's philosophy, the basics of the Perl language, object-oriented programming, exception handling, metaprogramming, and testing, among other things. You’ll get hands-on experience dealing with a number of real-world examples and best practices that help developers write more maintainable, idiomatic, and efficient code, making use of Perl to its fullest.
While you can write productive Perl programs that never take advantage of all the language has to offer, after taking this course, you will be making use of all the ideas that the global Perl community has invented, borrowed, enhanced, and polished.

"You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it."
