Thank yoiu for the book pointer. I am going to read it. What is the difference between that book and "Programming Perl: Unmatched power for text processing and scripting, Edition 4" and Modern Perl? I mean what additional information is there, considering new job?
Well for one thing text processing and scripting is not all you can do with Perl. Modern Perl shows you how to write robust applications that can compete with the other modern languages. Also, it's free. :D
