in reply to Seeking your recommendation - Perl resources

An excellent book that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread is the Perl Cookbook - organized by what you want to accomplish. This book is a *must* IMHO.

    I just thought of another often overlooked resource - that is actually one of the best resources and it doesn't cost anything - the *perldoc's*. Perldocs is perl documentation that is included when perl gets installed on a machine. To start just do
    perldoc perl
    at a command prompt. You'll see a listing of perldoc "sections" along with a short description of each section. From there if you wanted to read the 'Perl Introduction for Beginners', you would do
    perldoc perlintro
    HTH.
