Stuff recommended on perl.com is probably OK, but a lot of stuff on the web is pure crap; i.e. you get what you pay for (kind of like this message :). Spend a few bucks and get the basic O'Reilly books: Learning Perl Programming Perl CGI Programming with Perl More books are listed at http://learn.perl.org/ If you are serious about web programming with perl (and I assume you are!), I would also highly recommend "Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C", also published by O'Reilly. The name is a bit of a misnomer; the book is extremely useful even if you never actually write an Apache module. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
