I'm not a programmer, but an EE. However I found Perl to be
very useful to me in cutting down mechanical chores.
I tried the Camel book, but being new to UNIX and
to Perl, I couldn't understand the explanations, which
were refrenced to something quiet obvious (not to me).
I bought the Black Book, and found it to be very complete and easy
to understand. The system guys in the company where
I work, said that it contains more information on Perl than any
other book they've seen. Including the camel book (yeah
I know, it's blasphemy).As Kelly Bundy used to say: Ina butt
shell, excellent buy and a rival to the Camel book, and in some
issues, tops it.

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.
