Negative Positive
Title: This book skims the top, without going to the depths I need.
Review: This book, while good for the basics and overviews of general material, lacks in the specifics that I really needed to get going. The examples on disk are not very good. I try running a number of the scripts and I get run-time errors. It would have been nice to see scripts that would help me get started right off the bat. Recently, I was forced to go out and buy another book to cover material not covered in Cross Platform PERL.
Is the review positive or negative?
