Great Book for beginners

If you want to LEARN Perl, this is the book for you. If you know Perl and want a more in depth discussion or a good all-purpose reference, get something else.But, as I said, if you want to learn Perl and don't know it yet, get this book. You will use and use and use this book!

Loved it!

If your looking to start learning Perl, this is the book to have. I didn't know anything about Perl when I started and this book got me going quick. I often refer back to it as a reference and I'm starting to wear down the book binder.

One of the best written introductory books I have seen.

If you looking for a great book on learning Perl, look no further. It covers everything a starting Perl programmer needs to know. You'll learn everything from writing a "while loop" to "regular expressions". When I finished reading this book I had a clear understanding of the Perl language. This is a book I always refer back to.

Very well done format, informative!

This book is one of the best I have seen on CGI and Perl. It is put together like a programmer likes to see things. Eric, just opens up and lets us into his vast knowledge of programming. This is one of my most valuable books.

A great quick-start Perl programming book

I bought this book hoping for a quick and easy to understand guide to how to write a CGI script in PERL. In 2 days I was able to write a fairly complex CGI script thanks to this book. It is easy to understand, and has GREAT examples that you can lift almost straight from the book and into your own applications.
