I've found the site:-
http://www.pdf-search-engine.com/perl-pdf.html
very useful for things I've worked on for examples. I would say, if you find
a book thats good show respect to the author ande purchase a copy.

Interesting first choice, but okay... Was there something in particular
that you are getting hung up on?
I thought about getting "Intermediate Perl", but I've heard that
"Programming Perl" is the best next step.
I'd disagree and say that your suggestion of Intermediate Perl would be
the next best step.
But, what's the advantage of "Programming Perl" when we have "perldoc"?
What does the book give me that perldoc does not?
A book. Some descriptions are more in depth and having a book with a
table of contents and index can often be easier to reference when you
don't know *where* to look in perldoc, but much of the information will
be the same. (Any number of sites and Google can help with where to look.)
Thanks,
Richard
