Review title: Not what you'd hope
Product review: Learn Perl in a weekend ? Yes if all perl consists of is writing a print statement n different ways.Many of the examples do not work or are poorly edited.Page 56 for example has an example of the split command that shows two quotes rather than two slashes.It may sound trivial but it is important when the student has no other frame of reference.The flock command does not work on win2000/nt the author acknowledges this but offers no other example a student could learn from.After this the only this the rest of the book consists of is print statements with differing contents.By the way. The game the cover refers to.. You guessed it... More print statements.My advice is not to waste your money. Purchase another book such as one from O'Reilly
