[clue] Perl references?

[foo7775 at comcast.net]

Hey Mike, 

I've been "dinking around" with learning Perl for a while now, & while the Llama & Camel books are good, they just don't "do it" for me - the Llama book seemed too "theoretical", & I find the endless Flintstones references tiresome, I guess. The book that *really* made me feel like I could be productive with Perl is 'Minimal Perl' by Tim Maher (link to Amazon page below) :

What this book does is to outline various Perl capabilities in ways that relate to UNIX capabilities that you're probably already familiar with, & that change in the way that the subject is approached made a noticeable difference for me. I also occasionally look at 'Perl by Example' by Quiqley, but I that's mostly just in the hope of having a new concept explained in a different manner when I'm not getting it otherwise. 

Finally, you can also download a *free* copy of the book 'Modern Perl' by Chromatic at the link below:

I hope that this is helpful. 

T. 

(P.S. I hope that I'm not being pedantic when I say this, but there's no 'a' in Perl.) ;-)

Subject: [clue] Pearl references? 


Et al, 

I've taken a job where management is sort of gently encouraging us to learn programming, usually either python or pearl. While I know of several good python references/handbooks, I know of no good pearl references. Can anyone recommend good websites/books?
