in reply to RE: use strict
in thread use strict

Is there any other book for learning Perl that you could recomend?
Are there errors or perhaps bad practices in the O'reilly Learning Perl book that I should be aware of?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Blasphemer!

    Learning Perl is infallible! (and version 3 will be even more infallible than the previous versions)

      Don't say that. There can be a typo in everything.
      Just like the nice quote from a Linux(?) mailing list dicussing a kernel bug:
      Never make any mistaeks.

    O'Reilly Learning Perl is the book to use for learning perl.

    If you want to talk about all the errors and bad practices expressed in that book ask merlyn, I'm sure he'd have some interesting comments for you :)
