Perl for System Administrators (by O'Reilly) may cover these topics well. I'd second the Perl CookBook, and, given you're already familiar with other languages, the Camel (Programming Perl) would probably be a good fit (you could probably skip the Llama). Perl in a Nutshell is a decent reference as well. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
