I would look at Data Munging with Perl by davorg. As his blog post says, the module recommendations might be a bit dated, but general ability to transform text files from one format to another is important.	[reply]

G'day shankonit, Take a look at O'Reilly Perl Books. There's a selection covering different aspects of system administration (networking, database, web and so on). You weren't specific about what you were after but I expect you'll find some titles suitable for your needs. Update: `s/Gud/Good/` in title -- Ken	[reply] [d/l]
