Inching along

Husband says it's a dead language at this point and I don't program in my day job but I also don't like DNFing so I'll try to clear this off Currently Reading by year's end hopefully.

I've been told I should DNF this because arguably, I kinda did since I haven't touched Perl in maybe 8 years? but I do want to complete it off the Currently Reading list at some point!

Will probably need to restart this to recall any Perl knowledge tbh

Reading this here and there. Probably will get more out of reading Programming Perl from the beginning because I've forgotten quite a bit...

feebly read a few more pages as part of defense prep instead of finishing whops

ended up not getting asked about perl, though!

The big book has been more useful, but I feel compelled to at least finish reading this one cover to cover... at some point.

This is pretty much the 'Hm, I need to be productive in the office but I also need to not be online' book... BF thinks the camel book (Programming Perl) is more useful, but we'll see. He's probably right; I'm a newbie programmer but I'm still not quite grasping what they write about here...
