Title: Errors, mistakes, untested examples and foggy explanations
Review: Do not buy. Typos, examples that don't work,examples that don't match the text and worseabound. As a Perl beginner, I found myselfconstantly looking beyond the book - changing the code to "what theyreally meant" and guessing about the gaps. The book leaves much of theimportant syntax a mystery. Finally I realized theremust be a review of this book on the web.There is one by Tom Christiansen that, from myexperience, hits it head on, was fun readinggiven my enormous frustration, and told mehow misinformed I'd been even aboutfeatures that "seemed to work". Check it out -the review, not the book - and laugh
Is the review positive or negative?
