Perl Beginners' Site - News

07-July-2006: The wiki is now part of perl.net.au

The contents of our wiki were integrated into the perl.net.au MediaWiki as its "New to Perl?" section. This was done to consolidate the Perl wiki'ing efforts, because there's much more action on perl.net.au than there was on our wiki, and for ease of maintenace. Our wiki will be removed soon.

Also of note is a new section of the site on Perl-related wikis.

04-November-2005: Perlmeme.org

There's a new site for Perl beginners called Perlmeme.org. It collects tutorials, howto documents, and frequently asked questions (FAQ) lists. I was referred to its developers by a mutual friend, and since then became heavily involved in its development. (E.g.: some of the material from my Perl for Perl Newbies series, was integrated there. )

Perlmeme.org tries to be as up-to-date as possible and is certainly worth checking out. On a different note, I'd like to mention that I went over the material in the Perl for Perl Newbies series and heavily updated and corrected it. It should be much better now.

06-June-2005: Wiki Restored

The Wiki was heavily spammed and so was taken off. Now, a new wiki was set up with a better implementation - MediaWiki, and now we monitor the RSS feed and use other measurements to prevent Spam.

All the content of the old wiki was restored.

29-February-2004: New Wiki

We now have a new Wiki with a better implementation. The previous wiki was dumped because it was a Java Script hell and was quite lame in its conventions. The newer wiki implementation (PmWiki to be exact) is much better in this and other regards.

All the content from the old wiki was transferred to the new one. We hope you'd like it better.
