Title: Excellent intro into Perl
Product review: This book is a MUST GET if you want to learn Perl. Already knowing JavaScript, this book after the first chapter was a great thing to skim. If you can totally understand the first chapter, you will have no problem finishing the rest of this book. But if you are a beginner, like the review before me has claimed, SKIP CHAPTER 1. I have no idea why the auther would put that there, of all places. Chapter 2 - 5 start nice and slow and are excellent for the beginner. Once you understand Chapters 2 - 5, chapter 1 will have you in awe of the capabilities of Perl.Bottom line: if you want to have a comprehensive guide to help you learn Perl, this book is IT. Don't hesitate to get it.Mike C.
