Rating:  - great intro. to perl
this was my very first Perl book and it taught me a lot of basic stuff that i still use now eventhough i don't use Perl anymore :) I'd still recommend it and I love the Visual Quickstart Guides!
Rating: - Birds Friend or foe
In the movie "The birds" I found that it was interesting to the point to where you did not know what the birds would do next, or who was going to be there next victim. The actors who played the characters (Rod Taylor as Mitch Brenner, Tippi Hendren as Melanie Daniels and Jessica Tandy as Lydia Brenner and many more) did a fine job of acting for their time, however if the movie were based in today's time they would probably not have been as well recognized for this particular movie.

Rating:  - Don't buy this book.
The book purports to be a visual quickstart guide. However, you will need a microscope to view the examples; which after close examination, you will find to be the same examples you can get for free on-line. The extensive use of deprecated code is more than just annoying, especially the code that was deprecated prior to publishing. The publishers should have caught that. Get the O'Reilly book instead: the one with the mouse on the cover.
