Review title: Unneccesarily Complicated Examples
Product review: I am a technical trainer and had the unfortunate task of teaching a Perl class using this book. I found this book to cover all of the essentials though not do it well.In my opinion the author does not explain the details of the different functions of Perl he just assumes you know them and starts using them. He also starts using functions in early examples without first explaining what the function does. How can you learn arrays when his example has looping though he hasnt explained it yet? His examples are unneccesarily complex and could be written simply to get the same point accross.A much better book is 'Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours' Second Edition by Clinton Pierce. Get it and get programming with Perl today.
