Ed, Let me throw some advice your way. These are the books I highly recommend. Believe me when I say, I've bought a lot of Perl books. I probably have 10-15 right now.
Learning Perl - O'Reilly Perl: The Complete Reference - Osborne Perl Developer's Dictionary - Sams Perl for System Administration - O'Reilly You can view the covers and access links to these books on my website. http://www.jeffborders.com/misc/books.html Big advice, look for these books on clearance racks at your local computer store. we have a "Microcenter" here in Columbus, Ohio that is trying to unload a lot of these for $3.99 - 6.99. I've bought a few that way. Big advice #2. Ebay. I buy all new books and expensive books through trusted sellers for about a 50-60% savings. Make sure you can pay media rate on the shipping. $4.00. I routinely buy books for $15-20 here. Big advice #3. Check Amazon's used sellers. Another source for 50% off. I've never paid more than $15-25 this way. If you want more advice on Perl books, ask me. I've probably read it and can tell you what it emphasizes and whether it's suited for a beginner. Good luck. Jeff Borders ps. You're not the Ed Yost that works at Softpro, are you? If so, we've worked on projects together for NWTitle. Small World.
