in reply to Beginning Perl (Ovid) Vs Learning Perl?
If you can only get one of the two, I suggest Ovid's book because it covers more material. "Learning Perl" is the start of a series which continues in "Intermediate Perl" and "Mastering Perl", whereas Ovid's book starts at the beginning and goes on to cover advanced topics as well.
