Summary: Excelente introdução à linguagem Perl
Comment: Perl é uma das linguagens mais utilizadas para se escrever "CGI scripts" em servidores Web. Se você é leitor da revista Linux Journal (e se não é está perdendo uma excelente publicação sobre Linux) então já deve ter reparado que a coluna "At the Forge" escrita por Reuven M. Lerner ensina todos os meses novas técnicas e novas maneiras de se usar Perl com o servidor Web Apache. O livro "Learning Perl" é a melhor maneira de se aprender essa linguagem. É um livro básico que ensina os fundamentos de Perl, tais como: variáveis, arrays, funções, acesso a arquivos, etc; ou seja, é um "overview" da linguagem. Existe apenas um capítulo (o último) dedicado a programação CGI, portanto este não é um livro sobre "como usar Perl na Web". Se você é do tipo que gosta de instruções passo a passo para aprender um novo assunto, então este livro é o que você precisa para aprender Perl.

Summary: Great
Comment: It is a great Book!! It is so user friendly!! I have no programming Background and run on Win95 and was easily able to grasp it within a half hour i was writing simple scripts. A must have for all people who want to learn Perl. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about Webdesign or my review at Giawizzard@aol.com

Summary: THE place to start.
Comment: I have read the first edition of Learning Perl. And if the second edition is anything like the first, it's well worth it. The first chapter is something to be skipped, however. They basically throw everything at you that your going to learn in the rest of the book. But after that it's classic O'Reilly at it's best. If you want to learn the power and -flexiblity- of Perl, This is the place to start.

Summary: This needs to be a better book
Comment: I have learned many languages in my computer career. I am 17 and I have learned approx. 6 languages excluding the English and French :) In all my book reading days, I have never seen a worse book than this one. It has a lot of useful information except that some people are just starting in UNIX programming. This book jumps right into the harder languages instead of actually touching base with each command. I really wish that SAMS would write a book for Perl because I really like their books

Summary: Gets you up to speed FAST.
Comment: I had been stumbling around Perl for a while now, modifying downloaded scripts and writing a small CGI script or two but I never actually sat down to _learn_ the language. Picked up this book based on the excellent recommendations here and it's definitely paid off. Burned through it in a day and by the evening I was finishing off my first real Perl script (with the next one started the following morning). Don't know how useful it is for non-programmers but if you have a programming background, especially with scripting, you'll find this an excellent way to get up to speed. It doesn't cover everything but it's not supposed to. It quickly lets you hit the ground running, and that's a good thing.
