I'm a bigger fan of the perldocs (especially the HTML version that the ActiveState install generates) than of any Perl book. Searching the perldocs for a way to do whatever you're trying to do...makes a good learn-by-using method.
Can't remember the name, but I've seen at least one book that was pretty close to being a hardbound version of the perldocs anyway. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anthony Ettinger Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 4:08 PM To: Danny L. Brow, Jr.; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Perl-unix-users] Learning perl doing the exercises and writing little scripts as exercises definitely helps. depends on what you want to use perl for. I like the CGI Programming book by O'Reilly....and also Object Oriented Perl by Damian Conway, if you want to get into it. Personally, I think the Programming Perl book is too much at once...but that's just my reading style. --- "Danny L.
