Introduce Perl tutorial site which write by google engineer
About a month ago, I got an e-mail. "Please introduce Perl tutorial site which is written by google engineer spent over 150 hours"
PERL Tutorial for Beginners - Complete Guide
A Silicon Valley engineer seems to have rarely introduced Perl, but recently it tells us that we have used Perl at the Google APP engine, and Amazon scalable MXNet cloud support Perl library AI::MXNet officially.
And about a month ago, I hear a veteran google engineer is writing Perl tutorial over 150 hours.
I'm glad for Silicon Valley engineer to be interested in Perl.
This site start with Perl download and installation, then there are basic topics.

This is one way to learn Perl in English. I think that it is convenient for people who are studying Perl in English-speaking countries.
I'm Perl Programmer. I LOVE Perl. I want to contribute Perl community and Perl users.
comment written by daxim, and i 100% agree with him:
Please do not promote a Perl tutorial just because someone asks you. I have evaluated the quality of this tutorial and I think it is mediocre because there are too many mistakes and quality problems. The guru99 site looks like its primary purpose is not teaching, but being a vehicle for advertising. I very much doubt this tutorial was written by a Google engineer.
Perl already has a big problem with outdated or otherwise low-quality tutorials. Better tutorials can be found at http://perl-tutorial.org/
hmm the old
gointerviews.com
site in a new form.
They use to sell interview questions answers at one time if memory serves me correlty??
This is a terrible tutorial. Please don't promote it.
At first, Please evaluate to create Perl tutorial in this age.
Tutorials are all free even if there are some different purpose. These are all free.
Writing style is old, and entries maybe have some wrong things.
but he have effort to create many figures for people to understand Perl easily.

Value is not just completely correct and new.
Criticism is easy, but evaluation is difficult.
Please comment for evaluation more.
I am creating GitPrep and SPVM. but you don't comment to evaluate it. Comment is always only for criticism.
I also got a spam message from them. I actually get one of those quite often. From 99guru and a few other "brand new Perl tutorial sites".
Are we so desperate that any spammer would do?
Yuki, I am not sure what do you expect in "evaluation" of this tutorial that is not "criticism". Do you expect people to find the good parts and talk about how wonderful it is that they explain about arrays?
Or do you think that it is ok that they don't "use warnings", don't "use strict", use $a and $b in examples, write code like this:
my @array=(a,b,c,d);
don't always indent their code. Just to name a few.
Some problems I found in the first few paragraphs.
No. It doesn't.
From the list of pros:
What?
From the list of cons:
That might, in some cases, be true. But it's really not something you should be writing in a tutorial.
From the section on installing/updating Perl on Linux:
That works on Ubuntu or most other Debian-based Linux distribution. But there are plenty of Linux distributions where it won't work.
The section on installing Perl on Windows recommends ActivePerl, where most of the Perl community would recommend Strawberry Perl.
No-one should be recommending "-w" over "use warnings".
This is just wrong.
I can't go on. This is not a good tutorial.

Thanks for comments.
I don't promote this site. I only introduce this site.
Maybe, I will introduce the entry which is written by Perl newbie.
Quality is not problem. Internet have mixed good and bad sites.
I only introduce the new content about Perl tutorial.
If you have your favorite Perl tutorial site, I can introduce the site.
If you feel injustice, I introduce your most recommended site.

I think it is good to increase Perl site.
Most bad things is looking down, ignore, negative campaign to Perl.
Low level content is not so bad. I'm glad to see new Perl content.
You link to it. Google notices it. It ranks that site higher. Effectively you are promoting it.
It is also not new. It is a very old tutorial, they just decided to spam you with it now.
