Title: Excellent tutorial/reference for those new to Perl!!!!!!!!!!
Product review: For those new to Perl (or anyone else who seeking a scalable scripting language), this book is an excellent starting point. The first chapter provides a rather quick overview of what can be done with the language, so I wouldn't spend too much time mulling over the details within. Subsequent chapters are short and get right to the point. Plenty of examples, lots of code snipets.6 months ago I opened this book, and today I'm working through "The Perl Cookbook",(which I highly recommend as well) in between I've written thousands of lines of Perl code.I make a point of promoting this book to any friends who mention the need for a scalable scripting language (if they don't already own it). If you're new to Perl, buy this book. If you're new to CGI script development, buy this book. You'll be glad you did!
