UPDATE 22 October, 2026: Ignore what follows about “free”, the freedome offered in 2015 no longer exists. Sorry.

It appears that the free, introductory Perl course has gone away. The links below are still pointing at the original tutorial, but here’s a free Perl course from Udemy as a replacement.

I’m not a Perl developer, I like to be able to read my code after I’ve written it! ;-) However, some people do like Perl and there are even people out there who would like to learn it.

I was recently contacted by a company called Udemy who create tutorials and carry out training courses for various topics - why not give them a look if you need any training. Anyway, they were updating me on their new introductory Perl tutorial. I think it’s well worth a look - if you are that way inclined!

You can check out their web site as well, there is probably something there that might be useful to you.
