as some one who owns and read thu the alpacha book (not read camle book)
so long as you know programing and unix and shell (shell tools like sed grep (regex)) you can start going.
its really similar to shell and the worse parts are the "automatic" things like $_ and stuff. it uses $ for a var
% for a table/associative table
it has awful function syntax too. its really a lot like shell but kinda worse imho

i dont know oop, the allpacha says shit like perl can support other langauges but man its a bitch, you prob gonna have to work with perl moduels and know simple pakage mange stuff that chatgpt can help with, honestly have chatgpt hold ur hand with things like that but its really just a coked up shell lang. kinda like php!
