But unfortunately, people who don't already know Perl aren't qualified to critique a Perl book. I.e. you may think you learned well, even though you may have learned crap. "Perl in 21 Days" might teach well, but if the Perl it teaches is crappy, then it's a crappy Perl book. And that is exactly what I understand to be the case.
