Well I have finally come to the conclusion that perl is not going to die anytime soon. Up to now I have been able to do most of my Linux related tasks by writing bash scripts, python scripts, and even java. Well I am in a spot where I need to get more familiar with perl to maintain existing scripts, and extend or create new ones.
Can I get some recommendations on a good perl book? I'm looking for something that gives examples mainly related to interfacing with the linux system, ie: doing what most do in bash, but in perl, file access, working with files, renaming and other regex related tasks. Also I would like one that sticks mostly to using packages that are included in the standard perl install. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. P.S. If I buy a book based on your recomendations and I don't like it YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT IT! jk. For what it's worth I am more of a visual learner, and learn by examples. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
