This book is the best start for Learning Perl, but only if you feel comfortable with other aspects of computing, such as HTML, FTP, and so on. To be of real value to the reader, they should already have some type of access to Perl (this is fairly easy if they have Linux installed). The book progresses in a logical manner. If the reader is exclusively a Windows user, they would probably be much better off with `Learning Perl on Win32'. Either book is a must for any serious Perl programming. If the reader is a complete novice, the best choice is `Perl for Dummies'. Full Review >
