An excellent intro to a tough topic
This book was all that and more. I was looking for a book which would get me started in Perl scripting as painlessly as possible. I am now thinking of taking up Perl scripting as a profession.
Good Book
The only drawback, is the only online reference (the author had set up a page with all relevant links) is to a page that has moved, due to the publisher being bought out. This book was brief and informative, with enough tutorial scripts to get you going. (frustrating, but still worth it).
A great Intro to Perl!
My actual rating would be 4. I thought this book was excellent, it was a little short, but still good.5 stars, this is because once it gets into chapter 3 pretty deep, I lost my self and had to read it over a couple times, and instead of using cgi-lib. pl, I'd rather know how to do it from scratch.
Overall though a great book! c'ya.
