Re: UNIX and Perl to the Rescue --like book for Python?

Probably a better idea: a book focused on Perl itself; namely Learning Perl ( ~~AKA "The Camel" and~~(brainfog! See first reply, below and TY AppleFritter) widely regarded as the gold standard for those introducing themselves to Perl) rather than a text diluted by OS info/restrictions.

You might also consider free-and-open educational (college and U) sites which offer tutorials; and would likely profit by simply using your favor search engine with the terms "Perl Tutorial" or "Perl primer" or something similar.

For *nix, there are many books; enormous amounts on online info; and, likely, local or regional schools that will also do better by you than a mashed up into to *nix (of whatever flavor) and a programming language. Disclaimer: I know nothing about the book you initially cite, positive or negative... but I am confident that Learning Perl would serve you well.

For Python advice, suggest you address your question to the appropriate Stack Overflow realm or seek out a site focused on Python.

namely Learning Perl (AKA "The Camel" and widely regarded as the gold standard for those introducing themselves to Perl) If you'll allow me to pick a small nit: Learning Perl is the Llama; the Camel is, of course, Programming Perl.	[reply]
