potential readers:
Since it is in German, everyone that is more comfortable
reading German than English, especially beginners and
intermediate users of perl.
contents:
compact introduction to Perl in terms of syntax, string
manipulation, list manipulation, regex etc.
complete with examples & excercises
introduction to OO complete with examples & excercises
a chapter on modules and their use, especially:
-
LWP
-
NET::FTP
-
URI::URL
-
diverse HTML modules
again complete with examples & exercises
a chapter on Perl/TK
information on installing Perl
a CD with the book containing a Perl as source, a binary for
win32 (all slightly outdated by now in my edition) and all the examples from the book
3 stars out of 5
Fine to start out with. All examples and exercises are code that one might need in everyday computing. The auther even keeps an eye on security -w and use strict are not only explained but also used in the examples.
But there will come a time in the live of a Perl adept, when he needs more in depth information than this book can give. Programming Perl is a must have.
Another problem with the first edition (the one I have) is the index. Wrong page numbers in an index are not acceptable in a book that you might also use just to look up a function. This problem might have been fixed in a newer edition.
I still use it alongside my Programming Perl (2nd) and Perl Cookbook.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
