oh - forgot to also request: could you include your reasons why you might recommend a specific path? Helps me evaluate which learning path is right for me.

thanks again,
Jen

I've been attempting to learn perl for about a month so far. I've taken the 4th Edition of Learning Perl and I work through a chapter every few days. I just found an online resource at perl.org called Beginning Perl. I've used a few chapters out of this book; it's interesting to see the differences in the two books. It seems like the Beginning Perl book might be a little more practical - on the surface. The Learning Perl book seems a little more academic. I'm wondering which of these two resources (or both) will serve me best in the longer term. Should I prioritize going through Beginning Perl first? Or, stick with the O'Reilly stuff? (I have always liked the O'Reilly resources, coming from Oracle, SQL (not SQL Server but structured query language) and pl/sql).

Any opinions or thoughts?
