> I'm nearly finished with this book (definitely excellent book!). Some items I need to review again (expressions will take some work). Afterwards I plan on moving upward and onward in perl. I'm curious if Oreilly's "Programming Perl" or "Perl Cookbook" would be good to jump into. Or is there another book I should study? >
In the past I would have suggested Programming Perl, the cookbook is more for examples of specific items, an excellent resource to be sure, but not necessarily learning material. Recently I would suggest the Llama's new soul mate, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lrnperlorm/ It will take you to the next level for sure. The old soul mate, which I really enjoyed at the time seems to have lost some of its luster, at least in that ORA seems to have replaced it with the above, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/advperl/ The two above overlap a good deal. Having said that, the Camel is indispensable and should be on every Perl programmers shelf. Naturally there is also Safari if you aren't into being a zoo keeper like some of us (or don't have the funds).... http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
