Title: Not up to "For Dummies" standards
Review: I often pick up books from this series when I am interested in something I haven't studied before. Usually I come away with a good basic understanding of the subject matter but in this case, I found myself irritated by the author's patronizing and supercilious style -- Perhaps he really did think that only dummies would read this book?Perl is an elegant and beautiful programming language and is suported by a friendly and open community that works with Macs, Win32, and Unix. If this book is your only contact with Perl, you'll come away thinking, with the author, that many of its users are "Unix geeks."Select a different book for your first introduction.
