Hi, I recommend using 'Perl By Example' author Ellie Quigley. I have no background programming experience at all, I am a Pharmacy student at Uni. I have been exposed to more than 3/4 of the book by doing examples and excercies at the end of each chapter; I've found it stimulating and excellent, so far.
In my personal opinion its the only perl book that I have really gotten a handle on and ironically its written by a female. I see most perl programming books are written by men. ;-) Cheers, Murtini [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi everyone, > > I'm a complete newbie to perl and programming.
