Hello, Thanks a lot Teddy ,Chris ,Brian and Ashoka for letting me know such a wide scope of perl. Just one more enquiry...hope you guys won't mind. Right now i am reading the book "Learning Perl". After going through this book I am intending to read "Perl Cookbook" ,would it be right ? Or, shall I go for some other books, obviously reading and attempting to answers to questions in these mails would be a nice option? Kindly let me know of the other options as well. Best Regards, Rajat
