Re^3: Best Perl Books of All Time

> Don't read Perl Best Practices (yet?)

Really? You surely mean for beginners.

I was already hacking Perl for years before reading PBP and it opened the doors into understanding Perl and "best practices" general.

Agreed inside-out is definitely out now, but it's a thick book anyway. ;)

His OOP book is brilliant too.

No, I agree with you. “Yet” doesn’t need a question mark and parenthetical. I think it’s likely to lead to cargo culted style in someone who hasn’t been doing Perl for at least a couple of years though. For my part, I had the 255 recommendations summary on my cube wall for a long time and red-lined out the ones to which I don’t subscribe/agree and in my case it was closer to 80% agreement than 50%. :P	[reply]

Thanks LanX & Your Mother. I have been messing about with Perl for a good few years now but it really has been just that. I have Picked up a few books (OOP & PBP) to try and get a bit more familiar and also in an attempt to try and tidy up my very messy scripts. I'll also check out Modern Perl, sounds interesting :)	[reply]
