I would recommend an older book - the Deitel book - Perl How to Program. Amazon has it (http://www.amazon.com/Perl-How-Program-Harvey-Deitel/dp/0130284181/ref=cm_cr _pr_product_top), and there are reviews on their site that are very favorable. Margaret M.

I wanted to introduce myself. I'm an experienced programmer (remember ASP, before dont net?) with little formal training, so often referred to as a hacker. I'm a professional Front End Dev - XHTML, CSS, JS - now tackling PHP and loving it. A couple coworkers recommended this list, so I'll be eavesdropping. I'm looking to go thru a book or two and need some help. I know all about loops, conditional statements, and the basics of programming. I understand the concepts behind OOP, but have limited experience with actually using it. I immediately grasped the basics of the PHP syntax but am starting to balk at the double colon meaning a static class and the single vs double arrow... So I guess I'm looking for something intermediate, and wondering if anyone can make a suggestions?
