Also check out the recent _Perl Best Practices_, also by Dr Conway. I'm not sure I'd suggest it to someone just starting out with the language, as it is generally written to help you learn how to write better Perl than to learn in the first place. But if you're far enough along that you already have Net::SNMP and Net::Telnet scripts going, then _PBP_ may help you improve and extend the work you've already done. The other main one I'd suggest is Lincoln Stein's _Network Programming with Perl_. I'm not sure if it would be seen as a bit outdated now, but it seems like it had an excellent reputation a couple of years ago. A good place to keep looking is http://books.perl.org/. It has summaries and reviews of lots of Perl books, including the ones noted here. -- Chris Devers ðóúF§?û83
