I'll bet at least one person on this group has a copy of this book :-)
When I was REALLY unfamiliar with DBI I found the FAQ, usenet, and this group to be the most useful (in that order). Tim's book initially seemed to me was like an explanation about how the rocketship was built rather than how to pilot the rocketship but once I became more experienced (we are talking a week or two here) I found useful information in the very same chapters that initially caused my eyes to glaze over. "Good" is a loaded term. I think it is a good book for people who already have a basic idea what they are doing (who aren't starting with no knowledge of PERL or their OS). -Matt > What about this one: Programming the Perl DBI (O'Reilly - by Alligator > Descartes, Tim Bunce)? Did someone read it? Is it a good book? >
