Hi, I recommend not buying anything. After all, perl itself including all sources are free, and they come will extensive documentation, while the sources are the ultimate reference. All you need is online and free and can be found by googling. The approach I recommend, is:
read one or two free, online introductions write a few simple programs read some of the core perldocs that seem interesting write some more programs get sources for some free perl applications and read them write some more programs get sources for some CPAN modules and read them write a simple module get the perl sources and read them write the killer-app in perl and retire rich and famous A good basic intro to perl is at: http://www.ebb.org/PickingUpPerl/ Here are some other links to free, online perl tutorials that I've found: http://archive.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Training/PerlIntro/ http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/Perl/start.html http://www.cclabs.missouri.edu/things/instruction/perl/perlcourse.html Here's a free Gtk-perl tutorial http://personal.riverusers.com/~swilhelm/gtkperl-tutorial/ -tristram -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
