So there's a DBIx::Class tutorial on CPAN, wihcih I initally wrote
because I was supposed to tell my coworkers how to use dbix-class,
which seemed to go down rather well.
And it's also checked into the repository in svn (I think).
And I started writing version 2, and there's quite a lot of it there,
with an actual real-world aplication type piece, instead of just
random examples.
But I never got around to finishing it, and people are actually using
it, even though it'sgot big holes in it.
But a lot of the rpoblems, or a east some of the rpobelms people are
having, are actually getting started (dispite having read tutorialss),
and isntalling lots of stuff.
Also, perl documentation is very flat (reference-oriented?). It puts
a lot of explanations on the user to already know hw to install a
module, write perl, etc.
So I decided we have this thing called the internet, and called web
applications, so I decided that there was a better method of teaching
people, closer to how I would do it if they came to me on IRC (which
people do all the time), which is to help people work though a set of
problems until they work out how they can do what they wanted to
achive. It would be much more useufl if tutorials could do this as
well.
And since I know how to use catalyst...

How to learn / try out a module without the frustrating/faffing of installing it?
Let someone else install it.
Try it online. Actual interactive coding.
Read about the module, try the exercises.
PASS or FAIL the exercise, yes its just a perl unit test file!
Obligatory social media add-ons, friending, openid, comments etc.
Help needed! Github! http://github.com/castaway/progtorial
