The Perl Foundation (TPF) is looking pretty active lately, undertaking a number of initiatives which aim to advance Perl's ecosystem further.
The start came with "Coding in Perl? What support do you need?", a survey into what help and guidance Perl beginners would find useful, which we reported in "New To Perl? What Do You Need? The Results".
Among other findings, it was revealed that beginners would like a standardized way of doing things along the lines of a framework, they crave the security and agility that an IDE provides, and that, when they look for help, their preference is first books and then online courses and videos, relegating real-time chat and one-to-one contact at the final places.
