Programming exercises

Hello,
Does anyone know of a website that lists some programming exercises to help in
learning perl?
I find it a lot easier to learning a language if I have exercises to apply it
to.

Yes. Funny enough they are in a book called "Learning Perl". : )

P.S. Not associated with the book or author in any way unless you count that
I too am going through the book.

I have that book and am going though them rather fast.
I was hoping for a link to a website that has a few more.

I don't know about explicit "learning perl websites", but I think existent
perl modules - from perl core or from cpan.org - are very good resources.
Choose small ones, or some with "easy" functionality to start with.
Look for adequate comments in the code.
An advantage of widely used code is that it is "real" code; many learning
examples are not practically usable due to lack of e.g. security measures (my
personal opinion).

Go to perlmonks.com. Try to answer any question in the
New Questions section. Compare your answer with the answer
given by others. Feel free to skip difficult questions,
there are a few thousand questions on the site.

/me is associated with the book and the author, and concurs. :)

When last I checked (a moment ago), 50 questions represented 0.11% of
the database, so that'd put it at about 50,000 questions. That seems
about right.

Nigel Chapman's book "Perl: The Programmer's Companion" also has plenty of
good exercises.

I was going to say just read threads here and figure out how you'd
answer them. Same basic principle.

Then read the sequel, "Learning Perl Objects, References and Modules".
Otherwise known as the Alpaca book.
