RLS: RLS:There are some who would disagree here. :) RLS: RLS:Buy a copy of Learning Perl. If it's the money you're concerned RLS:about, borrow a copy, or buy a copy and resell it.

i have to agree with randal here - programming perl is a reference textbook, and probably isn't the best choice to help you learn how to write perl programs in a step-by-step fashion. learning perl, otoh, was written specifically for this purpose, and toward that end is a much better resource. i recently donated my copy of learning perl to my local library, so that could be another option for you to obtain it without paying (if desired). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
