davorg has told me that version 2 of the Castro book will be much better (or less awfull :) as he has corrected a large number of errors in cooperation with the author. See his use.perl.org journal for details Update Changed link to the exact journal entry	[reply]

The second edition of the Castro book has been out for a couple of months now. It is a lot better, but it still only teaches a subset of Perl and (as the title suggests) assumes that you're only interested in using Perl for CGI work. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> Perl Training in the UK <http://www.iterative-software.com>	[reply]

I'll second that - I felt it was a great book if I wanted to do exactly the same as the authors - not very tmtowtdi. § George Sherston	[reply]
