Product Description
Perl is a powerful interpreted programming language that has matured steadily since it first appeared in 1988.

Since then, Perl has grown with the times, and so has this book. Programming Perl provides a unique introduction to the Perl language and its culture, as you might expect only from its authors.

This is a book that quickly starts out with a convoluted discussion of the "splice" function, comparing its workings with those of pop, shift, unshift, etc. The author then tells us after all the agony of trying to follow him to forget it — you'll never use it. The examples fail badly because he's never bothered to explain pop, shift, or any of the other material he slings at us. And so it goes, in this book about a frightfully haphazard language written by the same mind that created the language. Don't buy this book. You'd be better off trying to re-read your college physics text while drunk. There are some excellent WWW tutorials; I ended up relying on them.

NOT FOR THE BEGINNER TO PERL!!!! I have spent 3 days with this book and do not know much more that i did 4 days ago about perl. It is way over my head and i am a VB programmer. The book is well written for an advanced user, but that wasn't/isn't me.

Hey, do you know C ??? The only book for C is "C programming Language by K&R", the same applies here. The only book for Perl is this very book. It has in-depth explanation of Perl. Say no further, this is the only bible on Perl.
