I am really liking Learning Perl, 4th Edition from Oreilly, (http://www.oreillynet.com/catalog/learnperl4/). You can find it on half.com for about 25$. A good site for beginners and resources: (http://learn.perl.org/). Also there are free books for learning Perl: (http://www.perl.org/books/library.html). I have no idea of Perl classes @ colleges. _______________________________________________ kc mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/kc
