I learned Perl from the 3d edition, and I found it to be an excellent book.

I did have some programming background, though, so I can't vouch for how well absolute compsci novices would fare with it. - geoff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
