Customer Rating:      Summary: Easy to read and learn Comment: Recommended by so many people that learned Perl by starting with this book.It was great.
Customer Rating:      Summary: great for starters Comment: If you do not know PERL at all. Start here. You bet you're gonna learn how to start programming in PERL. At times this may might assume you know atleast some programming language, but generally it is very basic.
Customer Rating:      Summary: This book will get you started! Comment: If your'e absolutely foreign to the language - this book will get you to the point where you can program easily and comfortably with it. I won't turn you into an expert though. Perl is a complex language, and if you really want to become an expert, you better read another book such as "Professional Perl Programming". The value of this book is that it's easy to understand, that you can do great this with Perl right after finishing the book. There is a great extra of introducing you to CGI scripts. I started doing nice things with CGI in my company based almost entirely on what was introduced to me in this book!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Introduction to Perl Comment: Before reading this book I had no programming experience. I had been working in Unix for a few months and wanted to find a better/quicker way to accomplish tasks I kept running across, I could not find solutions to on the command-line (,and scripting would not have proved as elegant a solution). After reading the first half of this book I was able to write useful programs to address these minor issues. Some of the book seems a little out of order, and it is a little work coming from no background, but worth any difficulty encountered.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Introduction to Perl Comment: I did not have any previous programming experience before reading this book, just a bit of dealing with Unix. After reading it I was able to create useful programs which I had been wishing for. Some topics seem a little out of place, I do not understand why the chapter on subroutines is so early. Learning is a bit rough with no programming experience, but worth the work. I think of this as the language introdution by which all others are measured.
