[Perl-org-patches] [PATCH] Add a Tutorials Page - Resend - Inline

[Shlomi Fish]

Hi all!

What this untested patch does is add the http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/ page 
from perl-begin.org to http://learn.perl.org/tutorials/ . There are more pages 
on perl-begin in that section, and they were not added yet. We should also 
consider putting some comprehensive free-as-in-speech tutorials on 
learn.perl.org as is the case on http://perl-begin.org/ to preserve the look , 
feel and common navigation and avoid some over-zealous firewalls.

Furthermore, I think we should have a side bar on the left or the right in 
addition to, or instead of the top navigation bar, which can hold very few 
links. See http://perl-begin.org/ for an example.

Included is the inline patch. I hope my mailer did not mangle it.

Regards,

        Shlomi Fish

+<p>
+These online tutorials can provide an introduction to Perl so you can start
+writing your own scripts. Nevertheless, they don't teach everything there is
+to know about the language and one should still take care to learn all other
+things on his own from other resources.
