Jyotismaan, For hard copy books I use : 1) Learning Perl (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596520106/) imho is a must for newbies. 2) Programming Perl ( http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596000271/?CMP=AFC-ak_book&ATT=Programming+Perl%2c+Third+Edition%2c ) 3)Perl How to Program by Deitel. (I don't use this book that often) Online resources: 1)Shlomi Fish's Perl Beginners Site (http://perl-begin.org/) 2)Randal Schwartz (merlyn) columns ( http://www.stonehenge.com/merlyn/LinuxMag/) 3) Perl Monks (http://www.perlmonks.org/) 4) Google searches. These resource are sufficient for my needs. Others on the list may have more and/or better material. My use of perl is limited to small utility scripts to scratch and itch here and there. I don't use it for mission critical applications. I'm hoping to change that going forward. Good luck. Ian
