Re: A good Perl Book
Thanks everyone for your suggestions on good Perl books to have. I will check them all out and then decide on one or two to begin with. Gav... -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus. Version: 7.0.308 / Virus Database: 266.8.3 - Release Date: 25/03/2005
A good Perl Book
Hi Guys, Considering the other thread re: Sending Mail is about my level of expertise in Perl, what would you recomend as a good book to become an expert of sorts.? I have looked at getting Programming the Perl DBI by Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce more on this web page http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1565926994/webmasterresou05/102-9550958-5588144 I guess there may be a bit of bias coming up from certain quarters :) Will any of the above site do me, is there a 2004 or 2005 edition of any Perl Books around? I dont really want to concentrate on the DBI, a good all round book that delves quite deep will do me :) Gav...(Hope the list doesn't mind this type of question in here!) -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Re: A good Perl Book
A good reference book that I use is: Teach Yourself Perl 5 in 21Days by Dave Till This book is for someone who wants to learn how to use Perl on a UNIX machine and does not include any DBI information. The copy that I have is from 1995. I checked Amazon and there is a new edition but this version is by Laura Lemay. I discovered that the edition that I have can be found on-line athttp://docs.rinet.ru/P7/ * Richard Rice Continental Tire North America, Inc.

Hi- On Fri, 25 Mar 2005 21:36:40 +0800, Gav [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Guys, [---] I have looked at getting Programming the Perl DBI by Alligator Descartes, Tim Bunce [---] Are you looking at getting a general Perl book, or a DBI Perl book? For about six years, I've had the Perl 5 Pocket reference (v. 3) and Programming Perl. Both by O' Reilly. I guess I use the pocket ref more; I use the Programming Perl book for ideas; I didn't like the Perl Cookbook because, well, I don't know- I guess because I found the examples to be of more depth than breadth for my taste. I DID have CGI programming with Perl but I don't use the CGI pm anymore. But... If you're looking for what is probably the best reference in the world for Perl? You're already reading it- yes the mail and newsgroups! I have found that whatever programming problem I have, if I Google the right keywords, I can find code that helps - or at worst, something I can at least try. This is slightly off-topic, but I think with all the bad news in the world, it's so great that Perl skills are in such demand now- I did a search on hotjobs for database and Perl and got 712... database and VB got 411 (!!) As they say... who'da thunk it :-) K.C
