[OT] Great book!
Well, in an effort to improve my effectiveness when coding perl, I bought "Effective Perl Programming" by Hall w/ Schwartz. I must say, I am enjoying this book. It appears to be one of the few tech books that I can read front to back and be engaged from start to finish. I bought it Sunday, and I'm already half way through. I may have to go through again to cement the concepts, but the text is informative, the concepts are enlightening, and the code examples are as relevant as I've seen in any book on programming. I give this book 4 1/2 'J's out of 5. -- J. J. Horner Apache, Perl, Unix, Linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knoxlug.org/

Nah, Randal Schwartz came and taught for us at State Farm and he doesn't know what he's talking about. He just... what? He reads this list? Oh, hi, Randal! :) I'm kidding, I'll second that. It's a very good book. grin --- Ben Reed a.k.a. Ranger Rick http://defiance.dyndns.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [OT] Great book!
another great one ive yet to purchase is object oriented perl there is some sample chapters online somewhere See http://www.manning.com/Conway/index.html. It really is a tremendous book. I thought I knew OO Perl pretty well, but after reading Conway's book I realised I'd hardly begun!... Some of the useful techniques described: * Using closures to create static class data * Encapsulation with Pseudo-hashes and 'use fields' * Secure encapsulation with SecureHash and the flyweight pattern * Auto generating classes with Method::Maker * Implementing persistance * Inheriting class data * Blessing regexps, subs, and globs I could keep going, but there's a taste... There's a good forum at the attached web-site that Conway visits regularly. -- Jeremy Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
