O'Reilly cornered the Perl book market pretty early so they have most of the current worthwhile perl books on the market though there are other books out there published by Addison-Wesley, Manning, et. al. that are often better than their ORA counterparts but aren't as well known. The Perl Nutshell was...less than stellar but there is a 2nd edition in the works right now which may improve the book. If you just want a reference then the only book I'd consider would be the 3rd Edition of the Camel, a.k.a. Programming Perl. e. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
