First, I must recommend the Perl Cookbook. It has served me very well, and is a great resource for those of us who learn by example. Secondly, in all seriousness, when I was just starting with Perl, I got a great deal of value out of Perl For Dummies. I lied in my job interview about whether I knew perl, and bought PFD on the way home. By the time work started, I was competent enough to not rock the boat. :) (Admittedly, already being fluent in two or three other languages made that a LOT easier) -- Matthew Walker Kydance Hosting & Consulting, Inc. - http://www.kydance.net/ PHP, Perl, and Web Development - Linux Server Administration /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
