the LLAMA book (learning perl) is both a GOOD introduction to the specifics of perl AND a VERY GOOD book on programming practices in general. (the CAMEL book is a good highway map, but a bit overpowering when you're sitting at the on-ramp for the first time.) plus, there's enough sparkle and wink in there to make the llama just plain fun reading. (nearly as much fun as asimov's "murder at the a.b.a." with all those footnotes... and more tangibly productive.) would that all nonfiction texts were as interesting. -- I use Debian/GNU Linux version 3.0; Linux server 2.4.20-k6 #1 Mon Jan 13 23:49:14 EST 2003 i586 unknown DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #15 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Is there a good place to learn snarky PERL TECHNIQUES? One of my favorites is http://webtechniques.com, where Randall Schwartz contributes a monthly sample, explaining line-by-line what his code does, and why.
