I started with the "Learning Perl 3rd Edition" and have moved to "Perl Object, References and Modules" both published by Oreilly. Been working with Perl code for a few months now. I also have purchased the "Perl Cookbook". There are many great examples how to do something useful. Great books! Recently I joined the "perlmonks.org". I highly recommend them. Great place to ask questions and learn from other's. They also have code snippets to help push you along.
I've worked with C and C++ but never really got into it. I had few real world situations in which I needed to code as a Unix SA making it difficult to break into coding. Perl OTOH has much to offer including tons of modules for the average Unix/Windows SA. This helped me keep up my interest in coding and push forward. /me thx Larry for a great language! > I got the Camel book "Programming Perl" and immediately starting > solving problems with Perl.
