I learnt from the Camel book, not too long ago (a couple of years now I guess, actually). I still use it quite regularly as a reference. It's age has only bit me once: the talk about threads in it is quite out of date. However, it's been quite useful otherwise for me.
The other book I use a fair bit is 'The Perl Cookbook'. The pair is nice because they serve two quite different purposes: The Perl Cookbook is great for 'how do I do this task' type problems, Programming Perl is great when you need to look deeper into the language than that to create your own solutions to things. -- Robin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> JabberID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hostes alienigeni me abduxerunt.
