And, when you have the basics in hand, Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm. Yes, there are newer texts on the subject, but this holds its value.	[reply]

Learning Perl immediately followed by Intermediate Perl in the Oreilly series are essential for a strong foundation in perl.	[reply]

The O'Reilly books are great. PERL in a nutshell or Learning PERL are good places to start. They also have what they call the safari bookshelf which you can subscribe to and have access to all the books online.	[reply]

Its dated, but I found it very helpful when I was learning Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web, Second Edition by Elizabeth Castro http://www.amazon.com/CGI-Programming-Perl-Gunther-Birznieks/dp/1565924193/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1261270736&sr=8-1	[reply]

Elizabeth Castro book is notoriously bad, it should be avoided. Instead try Writing CGI Application With Perl	[reply]
