For a programming beginner in general, Learning Perl (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596520106/ by Randal Schwartz, Tom Phoenix, and Brian D. Foy, aka the Llama book) is an excellent book. For someone who wants to get stuff done in Perl, and fast, The Perl Cookbook (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596003135/ by Tom Christiansen and Nat Torkington, aka the Ram book) is still an excellent guide. For a programmer who wants to learn Perl as a language and as a platform, I find the new Modern Perl book (http://www.onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html by chromatic, aka... the butterfly book?) to be a very good guide, one that is walking in the steps of the venerable (albeit somewhat dated) Programming Perl (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596000271/ by Larry Wall, Tom Christiansen, Randal Schwartz and Jon Orwant, aka the camel book) -- Erez Observations, not opinions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
