Re: Re: programming language

Learning Perl by Randall Shwartz & Tom Phoenix. Not to sound like I'm trying to sell you something (although merlyn might like that); this book is the only reason I remotely understand the language of Perl, that is, only if you're trying to learn Perl :).

Actually, we really don't mind if you buy things to support the Monastery (or contribute directly). In fact, we strongly encourage it. Take, for example: Learning Perl, 3rd Ed. If you buy it through the link, the Monastery gets a tiny kickback via fatbrain's affiliate program. Keep the candles burning... --f P.S. That link was brought to you by your friendly Site FAQ.

Whilst I agree that Learning Perl is a great book (hey, I've bought all three editions), it doesn't attempt to teach you programming. It assumes that you already know how to program. As someone else has already pointed out, Elements of Programming with Perl is much better suited for this. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
