Summary: A great resource
Comment: This is an excellent book for learning perl. It gets you started on all aspects, such as CGI, but it is not the last word, of course. It is also a good reference. Because of the editorial mistakes in the first edition, this books reputation has suffered. That is unfortunate. It is not the only Perl book to own, but it is a useful one that you can rely on as you learn more and more of what Perl has to offer.

Summary: Very well done.
Comment: Supurb. Few computer books are written as intelligently as this. Perl is a complex and subtle language, and this book is therefore necessarily quite long. If you want to learn perl quickly, read chapters 1-5 of this book and do ALL of the example problems, which are an integral part of this author's didactic method. The problems draw out subtleties not explicitly covered in the text. An excellent, excellent book. Thanks, Jon.
