I have two related questions; for the first time, I have the opportunity
to teach a 1-unit 5-week course on Perl in the Spring 2003 semester.

1. I'm curious if anyone has any opinions for their favorite
beginning-Perl textbook?

I really like "Learning Perl", 2nd Edition, by Schwartz and
Christiansen, but I have had it several years and I wonder
if it is "out of date" with regard to what is being commonly
used now (in terms of Perl versions).

2. What version of Perl should I be teaching? My Perl knowledge
is several years old, and now I am hearing about Perl 6... but
is it released yet or not? 8-)

I hope these questions are not too foolish --- any opinions would
be appreciated.

Thank you,
