For beginners I would suggest getting "Learning Perl" rather than the Camel. The Camel is written as a reference, a very thorough one at that. The Learning series is written to teach and includes exercises, etc. It is known as the Llama. Unless you are already very, very familar with language constructs and are a very good developer, then the camel will probably not serve you as well. I have reviews of many of the Perl books on my site: http://danconia.org/cgi-bin/request?handler=Content;content=StaticPage;label=perl And information about most can also be found at: http://learn.perl.org Just a couple of cents, http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
