Hi,
I am a newbie to programming. In my honest opinion, I find this a great book. It tells you why a certain output is given the way it is. I do have Learning Perl and am pretty sure that someone with prior programming knowledge would find it quite fulfilling, but for a newbie like me, Beginning Perl is the way to go. Notes in the book, like when the author tells you that a prefix, like say $ or @ represents what I want to get, not what I have already got, thats what sets this book apart from others.
If you are a newbie to perl and/or programming, I would suggest this book.
Its been quite a while since the book came out, around year 2000 or so, but I still find it quite helpful. So thought its better to put a comment and let all the newbies know.

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.
