Thank you and all others for your replies.
Anyway i think i give the oreilly school a try, it is 7 days you can test it ...
I absoluletely agree with your praise for this site despite i am only a few days here but already think this forum invaluable, never seen such a well designed site, with so many experts around.
The administrators aka gods do really a great job here too, thank you if you ever read this :-).
I purchased "Learning Perl", waiting for delivery, after that worked through i try further books, like you mentioned (The documentation perldoc is really good but a little overwhelming for a beginner like me its not so easy to get an overview ;-)). Thanks for your advice in books too.
