Yesterday evening we started a series of [CodersNight|coders nights], every last wednesday of the month we look at one programming language. The opening session was about Perl, and we were treated by an extensive crash-course on this language and many (but certainly not all) of its intricacies.

Subjects that were presented included the basics (values, variables, scope, functions, looping and conditional constructs) as well as more advanced matters such as object orientation, modules, packages and even Perl6.

All in all a succesful evening where everyone left having learned something new, even those who had been using Perl in their work for a while already. The next coders night will take the level of abstraction down a notch with the beautiful programming language C.
