both of these options are great. but I'll tell you what I did. I bought a copy of "the perl cd bookshelf" on www.half.com that's the first one not the second one. Learning Perl 2nd Edition is on the cd along with perl in a nutshell, Programming Perl, 2nd edition, Perl Cookbook, Advanced Perl Programming and Learning Perl on Win32 Systems... It is an awesome resource if you don't mind reading on your computer. its a great resource for anyone serious about perl.
