I'm interested in writing open source business software (accounting, distribution, manufacturing) in Perl. My problem is I've been developing in a version of business basic called BBx (www.basis.com) and so even though I have designed and implemented large systems I have no experience in what people would normally call enterprise development (e.g., J2EE, .NET, COBRA, etc.) From what I can see P5EE is geared towards people who understand traditional enterprise development and who want to translate this into Perl. Where should I start? I don't really want to learn about other platforms if this isn't going to help my Perl programming goal. I'd describe my Perl programming ability as early advanced (to use a piano playing term). I've written several Perl modules using OO that I use in scripts to help with the business basic development, but none of them use any "black magic" and the internals of Perl are a mystery to me. Can you point me in the right direction? Should I study some other platform first? Buy and book? Go to a web site? -- -- Knute Snortum "Sure, I drink six 8-ounce glasses of water a day.
