You probably also want to take a look at O'Reilly's "Learning Perl" (By Schwartz & Phoenix). If you have previous programming experience you could probably go through it in a couple of days to get a feeling for the language. After that, the Camel will give you all the details, whereas the Cookbook is invaluable for solid example code. If you have the choice between Unix/Win32 platforms, pick the one that you will be developing for after you mastered the language. Perl is available for both, and although a lot of it is platform independent, there are some differences. -- felix -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
