Rating: - Awful! A waste of money
I agree completely with "A Reader from Colorado Springs" below. The hissing s habit the author has makes using the Cd irritating, and there are so many mistakes in it it's not worth using, yet the price on the package is substantially higher than a book because of it. The cd should have come with the book as a freebie if at all.
Rating: - Wait for the next edition!
This could be a great learning tool but isn't. The book that is included, Perl by Example, is very good and has many complete Perl programs.

There are errors in the content and many inconsistencies between the code examples and the audio that describes it. At this price I expected much more...wait for the second edition!

Rating: - College level course in Programming with Perl
While the author states you do not need to know UNIX or C, but "it would be helpful," the purchaser of this package should at least have a good understanding of how to program in general. The "complete" package includes Ellie Quigley's text "Perl by Example" and an interactive CD ROM which steps you through a course in learning Perl. Audio clips go into greater detail than text, and the 'student' who uses all the features of this CD ROM is likely to get the most out of it. Using the CD you can ... Read More
