Me, too (Score:2)
That's pretty much what I did. I did have access to the pink Camel book in the early days, and it was a great help. But real mastery didn't start until I made a habit of reading through one page of perldoc documentation (in perltoc order) every day right after lunch.
Then I plugged into the community, and the rest is history.
At some point in time, I wrote a little brain download called "The Path to Perl Mastery" for coworkers, which I've sent around a time or two. Maybe I should post it.
