I can't remember which book came first, but I think this was my second
web how-to book (the first one concentrated on HTML tricks and JS goodies-- almost all stuff I frown on now).<br><br>
While I'm certainly glad this book gave me a gentle introduction to Perl, I have to
agree that it is completely worthless. The book is designed to enable cut & paste web
development of the worst kind, and only for the most minimal kinds of sites.<br><br>
The guestbook sample code has no mention of the huge security risk this sort of scripting
can pose, and does nothing to mitigate it.<br><br>
I couldn't agree with this review more. I feel like having started with Perl via this book, that my
Perl programming has suffered for a long time. THIS BOOK SUCKS.
