I'm currently reading this book, with a great degree of
interest. For the first time I'm reading a book written by
a tangible person, somehow this makes a difference. More
importantly the subject is what I do everyday; sometimes it's
fun, I suspect there is potential for it to be more fun.
My route through the book is the introduction, appendix B,
and then sequentially through the chapters. Damian Conway's
Object Oriented Perl has some scorching information hidden
in chapters claiming to be rudimentary Perl, as does DMwP.
Due to the self-taught nature of my Perl skills, I am ever
alert for rudiments I overlooked.
Supplement
- Given a Cadburies
Caramel for an hour loan of the book to the author of
Brain Bench's Perl quiz.
He's definitely be buying it.
- Used the word "data sink" to a manger, who then left me to my work,
(I assume it sounded more important than his task).

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.
