The book that *really* made me feel like I could be productive with Perl is 'Minimal Perl' by Tim Maher <em>(link to Amazon page below)</em>:<br></div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/porzge5" target="_blank">http://preview.tinyurl.com/porzge5</a><br></div><div><br></div><div> 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.<br></div><div><br></div><div> Finally, you can also download a *free* copy of the book 'Modern Perl' by Chromatic at the link below:<br></div><div><br></div><div> <a href="http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html" target="_blank">http://onyxneon.com/books/modern_perl/index.html</a><br></div><div><br></div><div> I hope that this is helpful.<br></div><div><br></div><div>T.<br></div><div><br></div><div>(P.S. I hope that I'm not being pedantic when I say this, but there's no 'a' in Perl.) ;-)<br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Mike Bean" <beandaemon@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"CLUE's mailing list" <clue@cluedenver.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, July 7, 2015 12:32:03 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>[clue] Pearl references?<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><br></div>Et al,<br><div><br></div></div>I've taken a job where management is sort of gently encouraging us to learn programming, usually either python or pearl.
