Smart boy. :) If you're new to programming in general, grab "Learning Perl". Otherwise, "Programming Perl". The O'Reilly Perl library has a ridiculous number of books in it these days, but these two are really where you should start. In other news, I am teaching in the Fedora Classroom this Saturday on Perl basics. It's free. All you need is an IRC client. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC/Classroom -- [email protected] is Doran L.
