I didn't look real hard, but I did not find many links to either
perl.com or perl.org from the site mentioned. I did find this page,
"http://www.perlmeme.org/faqs/references/" with a few links and, oddly
enough, I did find a link on the home page of "http://learn.perl.org"
to "http://perlmeme.org/".

Still, I agree with Randal, it seems obvious that links should be added
to resources that will provide additional info on the subjects covered,
and it would be difficult to do better than starting with
"http://learn.perl.org". With that in mind I took a look at a "Perl"
site I help run and found that much the same could be said for it, so I
added the link there too. I do like the "meme" site though, and I
believe it has the potential to become a valuable resource.

Kindest Regards,
