I'm unbiased (other than I read them both after already knowing most of the techniques) and thought they were very solid, and definitely recommend both. Unless you are already familar with OOP concepts you are better off with the LPORM book than Conway's, as Object Oriented Perl is more difficult to read without already knowing a lot of the OOP terminology. It is also a bit dated. (Both of these comments are not intended to discredit the book or the man, it is still an excellent and thorough source, and his work certainly speaks for itself.) http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
