Perl 5 by Example Review by anonymous
Excellent book for both beginners and pros. Tons of examples
If you are thinking about learning how to program in PERL then by all means get a copy of this book. You'll also find it as a useful reference even after you master the basics.
I used to program in C/C++ and then use UNIX shell scripts to automate all the programs and processes on the server. Of course, that's until i discovered the power and advantages of PERL over scripting languages (ksh, bsh, etc) and decided to learn it. I picked up this book during the end of year holiday and learned all that i need to know to get started. I returned to my job two weeks later with enough knowledge to start writing programs in PERL and automating all our processes under UNIX.
Even after a year experience with PERL, i still come back to this book whenever i need to lookup a function or use regular expressions. Lots and lots of examples that will definitely speed up the learning curve.
