This is a very short entry, which will lead to a long one later. Right now in light of the recent hubbub about the study claiming that perl's as good as a randomized language for newbies, i am trying to find out just how a newbie searches for Perl learning materials online and what he finds first.

Right now i'm concentrating on what kind of search term a newbie would enter in Google. Luckily Google trends help a bit there, allowing me to compare between various search terms.

These are the search terms i came up with or was suggested:

perl tutorial 1.00 perl cgi 0.79 programming perl 0.45 perl examples 0.37 perl learn 0.10

Please help me and see if you can think of any other search terms that would be more often used than "perl tutorial". Thanks in advance.
