Greetings:
Part of the question, I think, is where you're starting from... If you're
new to programming, as I am, many of the best books are challenging, because
of the amount of knowledge they presuppose...
Here are two suggestions which I hope will be useful:
"Perl, a Beginner's Guide" by Wyke and Thomas. This seems to start from the
ground up...
This is a new book, I just picked it up, and haven't gotten into it yet, but
It looks good... this book actually explains the early steps (which on a
Windows machine are extremely daunting).
And:
http://www.manning.com/Johnson/index.html
"Elements of Programming with Perl" by Andrew Johnson, published by Manning.
Mr. Johnson is very helpful, and had, last year at least, the option of
email tutorials...
There's also a helpful message board in which the author answers
questions...
Thanks for your posting, you've inspired me to get back to Perl myself...
Now, all I need is the time...
