Learning Perl, Second Edition

by Randal Schwartz

"Learning Perl first appeared in 1993 and has been a bestseller ever since. Written by two of the most prominent and active members of the Perl community, this book is the quintessential tutorial to the Perl programming language. The third edition has not only been updated for Perl Version 5.6, but has also been rewritten from the ground up to reflect the needs of programmers learning Perl today. After years of success teaching Perl as consultants, the authors have re-engineered the book to better match the pace and scope appropriate for readers trying to get started with Perl, while retaining the detailed discussion, thorough examples, and eclectic wit that the book is famous for. Other books may teach you to program in Perl, but this book will turn you into a Perl programmer.
