in reply to Moving from scripting to programming

I would recommend the book "Perl Cookbook" ISBN 9780596003135. Rather than teaching details of Perl, it teaches how to apply Perl to common problems. You will often use its solutions "as is", but more important is the insight in how to use Perl effectively on your own problems.

    ++ for this. I only had the original edition but just last week picked up a pristine used copy of 2nd ed. on Amazon for eight bucks!

    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
