Articles that I've found pretty inspiring at the time, that encouraged me to explore some aspect of Perl much further. (items in blue = stuff you can/should use in production code, ie. non-Golf)
- [2010-Jan-8] Perl Golf 101
- [2010-Jan-8] Hidden Treasures of the Perl Code (parts
one and

- [2010-Jan-8] Perl One-Liners Explained, parts 1-4 — a lot of "basic intro to Golf" in there... good stuff!
- [2009-Dec] secret Perl operators — okay, only the Eskimo and the Goatse are really cool, but they're really cool.
