Are there any good books on Perl for beginers? Online sources prefered. I'm already reading through the man pages.
See perl.com (.org) for tutorials. Read the regex(7) and perlre manpages.
Also, I write my Perl programs in pico and run them from the shell prompt. Any better way to do this?
Yes - Vim. Use Vim. See the Vim tutorial to get started. There's an excellent Vi tutorial written by Bill Joy somewhere on the Web. Read that first.
