Just got the "Learning More Perl" aka "POR&M", aka "the alpaca book" today. It does a nice job of building up examples and models, explaining enough of the underlying structure for complex data structures, references, etc. so that one can see a little of the how and why (though still without too many of the messy technical details). A nice gentle introduction to modules early one (with, I assume, more to come later).
My vocabulary is expanding, I can now throw off phrases like "anonymous array constructor" and "marshalling" (I thought that was 'serializing') as if I knew what I was talking about; I'm sure I'll be dreaming of package names and autovivification tonight. Nice book; if you like(d) the Learning Perl approach, you'll like this even more (that is unless you haven't been doing your homework). -K * in Oogaboogoo -- Kevin Pfeiffer International University Bremen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
