Negative Positive
Title: good bad and ugly
Review: good: very simple treatment of the perl language. you can learn to program some relatively simple stuff if you haven't done any programming in 15 years (like me).bad: the book is ATROCIOUSLY edited. i find at least one significantly confusing typo every few pages. if you look on the bright side, you can use these mistakes to hone your skills on finding scripting errors, but in general, it seems to reflect a lack of care in putting the book together.ugly: this is for an absolute beginner who's willing to work through all of the typos. you will have to shell out additional $$ to begin to use perl in any productive manner.
