Ellie Quigley has a good book on Perl, Perl by Example from Prentice Hall. I use it, it is _good_. PH has a book on Shell programming, Unix Shells by Example, by the same author which _should_ be as good. Unfortunately, the examples tnd to be short and simple minded. But it does show you how features work. It doesn't teach _programming_.
