Re: Are these Perl books adequate?

Thank you for all of your comments. You responded much faster than I was expecting.
I can see I should have said I am mostly interested in using Perl to automate & maintain a small web site or two.
I'll follow up on the links and suggestions y'all gave me.

Thanks muchly.

Of the books you mentioned, the only one with which I have experience is Perl Debugged which I find to be well-written and good both for its Perl content and its general how-to-think-about-debugging-and-testing content. Other than that, dws said about exactly what I would, though I'd add Mastering Regular Expressions to my short list. Updated: Whoops, didn't catch that <cite> isn't allowed.	[reply]

I can see I should have said I am mostly interested in using Perl to automate & maintain a small web site or two. In that case you really need Perl for Web Site Management. It's a great book that does exactly what you want. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]
