Re: Books on Data Structure and Algorithms

There's an O'Reilly book on Algorithms: Mastering Algorithms with Perl. I think it suits your desires well.

As for language agnostic books, most people would recommend Donald Knuth, in particular the series "the Art of Computer Programming". Not the easiest of books, but probably the best you can get.

And the review here on PerlMonks, fwiw. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]

Thanks bart, I was looking for that book and couldn't for the life of remember what it was called. Also thanks for the link to books.perl.org - I didn't know it existed.	[reply]
