It seems most of you haven't read what I wrote both on the mailing list and on irc at all. There is a complete rewrite in progress already: https://github.com/abraxxa/perlopentut/blob/master/perlopentut.pod The structure has been thought out by leont, I've started filling it with content. My goal was a simple modernization of perlopentut in form of replacing 2-arg with 3-arg open and bareword (what we call direct filehandles after some discussion in IRC) with lexical (what was called indirect filehandle before) filehandles to have at least *something* ready for 5.18 that doesn't teach newbies things that aren't best practice since over ten years. But instead of allowing a simple change that makes the document at least follow current best practises you start something that easily takes months.Thread Previous | Thread Next
