in reply to Choice Perl Book Picks

Learning Perl is probably the best starting book. I like Effective Perl Programming by Hall & Schwartz. Also, of course, Camel III. If you feel you've got the these down, Mastering Regular Expressions will keep you entertained for hours.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I just received an email from O'Reilly and Associates this afternoon. Learning Perl, 3rd Edition has just been released. It is written by our esteemed merlyn and Tom Phoenix. And here is a link to an interview of the two of them. And here is a link to the book itself.
