I think the most important thing about this book is it's magical ability to draw you like a magnet. Once I started reading I couldn't get my hands off it until I finished. The author came up with many good examples that do not get you bored fast, and after I finished reading my apetite was so encouraged by the author that I ordered 8 other perl books. A bad book disencourages you from further reading and this book develops appetite and most importantly he did enough pressure on me to never ever forget to use warnings; and use strict; I think that's also important. I gladly recommend this book to everyone that wants to start learning perl, but don't stop after reading it, dive deeper into perl. Once you hit the bottom you will no longer need air to breath. Sorry for my grammar mistakes, english is not my native language.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
