Rating:  - Best...Perl book.... ever
Most O'Reilly Perl titles imply you'll learn something useful. Only Learning Perl and the Perl Cookbook fully come through in that regard.

yummy perl recipes; easy to prepare! very helpful for working with date and time data.

So far none of the problems has applied to my everyday Perl development chores, but by simly reading through some of the more interesting problems, I've learned a great deal more about Perl than before.
So this book works well as a learning ... Read More
