Never book is bad, it was writtent with a purpose, whenever in the world exists more good fine books. I never chose this series, such as 21 days, /Dummies/24 hrs./for busy people/ etc. I think that you can choice the Learning Perl from Randal Schwartz or Elements of Programming with Perl (Manning Ed.) particularly are my favorite introductory books. > > If you've read it, can you comment how good did you find it?
